With only minutes to go before my eyes close for the day, I wanted to update the Undergrounders.
Arrived in Missoula later yesterday, and spent today exploring the Life of the Proper Country Sporting Gentleman (pinkies up, readers).
Went to the range and terrorized clay targets using the Browning Superposed 20 gauge given to me by the coolest stepfather in-law ever (it’s a proper Euro shotgun).
Then we slipped off to a short section of the Bitterroot and fished bloody proper dry flies to a handful of rising fish.
I landed my first three Montana trout of the year.
Much more to come tomorrow – perhaps even a float on the Bitterroot, where a Heinz 57 mix of bugs seem to be coming off all day.
See you amongst all the other royalty, Tom Chandler.

The shotgun sounds sweet…made in Belgium, no less. Kentucky Jim(Quote)
“father in-law” and “shotgun” used in the same sentence is usually reserved for an hideous story on the front page.
Speaking of which, can you come down and BBQ for my “father in-law” again next weekend? Oh, going to use that “I’m on vacation” excuse once more? At least let me borrow the shotgun… Gerry C(Quote)
