Summer Fun in Central Montana

My apologies for the lack of posts but I'm making Hay while the sun is shining. However, I have made a little time to be on the water as well as getting familiar with a few new pups. We have had an ideal Spring/Summer w/plenty of moisture and no severe temps. Assuming the Summer is not too warm, we should see another successful, quality hatch.

Here Eric and I working Duke and Teigen.





I have Tim Powells pup, Luke (Tiegen's littermate), for a few weeks. Simply working him on Pigeon's at the moment, Tim has done a nice job with him.



Spring creek White Sucker on a Nymph. These guys are slimy and stinky but fight hard in fast water....a lot of fun.

Big Spring Creek Brown's caught on PMD's.





Darby pointing....






Rawley...out of Scott Berg's kennel. He's sharp, has some run but has never been on wild birds till the other day. His tail is a bit goofy but I bet some wild birds will correct that.


I've introduced Darby to Pigeons and Quail, she's very birdy and looks for her own birds at 4 months she's showing a lot of promise. Although these images don't show it, she has a nice high tail.

Nice photography, and even nicer dogs, Brad. I'm particularly encouraged by your Montana weather report, too! It'll hopefully make this fall's Quest for Huns more bountiful...

Good to see you back Brad. I have been pretty lax on posting also. How many new dogs are keeping in your string this year? Too hot to work the mutts here in W Co except early AM.

Great photos, handsome dogs, enviable habitat, awesome fish.

Can I load up a couple horses, a bird-dog, fly-rod, shotgun, rifle, and girlfriend and come visit for a dozen years or so?
