If I didn’t know better I would think I was living in Seattle,WA not on the Missouri River in Montana. It has rained every day now for at least a week and forcasts are for another week of rain. If you are in Montana and looking for a warm fireplace and a comfortable bed try a Montana bed and breakfast out you won’t be disappointed.
One thing that doesn’t change though every day I see at least 4 or 5 drift boats with die-hard fisherman casting their flies. Just a few moments ago one of those fisherman caught a 20+ inch rainbow.

While staying at the River’s Bend Lodge last weekend Kim & John had a great time even though it rained all three days of their stay. Normally in mid may they wouldn’t have had a chance to enjoy our great fireplace but because of the rain and cooler temperatures they were able to enjoy a crackling fire with their wine in the evenings.
John is an hobbyist photographer and quite talented at it he took many photos of the wild life and birds some that I posted on earlier blogs some that will be coming later. he also took some very nice photos of the lodge, including this one of the Great Room in the morning sun.

These are some photos taken by one of our guests at River’s Bend Lodg
e, a Montana bed and breakfast yesterday.
Hopefully I will have the one of the goose on the cliff tomorrow!
I took some pictures of the goslings during the snow storm we had last week. 
Hopefully you can see them walking in the rapids. We had one of those late spring storms Montana is famous for Helena and Great Falls got more snow then we did in the canyon at Hardy Creek.

Are you thinking about a Montana trout fishing vacation? Check out The River’s Bend Lodge a Montana bed and breakfast on the Missouri River.
Are you looking for a non crowded, large river with lots of big trout? Rainbows and Browns range from 14 inches to well over 24 inches. The hatches on the Missouri are prolific and include Mayflies, Caddis, Midges, and Stoneflies.
Perfect conditions abound along the Missouri River. Low clear water, lots of huge browns, and rainbows, are here for the taking. This section of the Missouri (Holter Dam to Pelican Point) is hot…. the fish are big and plentiful ”2010 may be the best year on the Missouri in a years, 4000 fish per mile, and prolific hatches.” This Blue Ribbon Trout Stream may just be the best in the country!
