The Family reunion on the Missouri River
Megan and her parents came to Montana for a Family Reunion and a little R&R under the Big Sky. Her father Greg, his sister Barbara,and brothers, Larry and Chuck met at the River’s Bend Lodge with children and spouses.
During their stay at the Lodge in July they attended the Air Show in Great Falls, did some hiking at Tower Rock State Park (only 10 minutes from the Lodge), fished a little, some river rafting, and a lot of reminiscing of child hood days in Montana.

Meet Ruby a Wirehaired Pointing Griffons puppy and the Star of this Blog
Lauri and Blair visited the River’s Bend Lodge along the Missouri River last week and took in some of the unique Montana scenery and history. The main purpose of their trip to Montana was to get Ruby, a Wirehaired Pointing Griffons puppy. Searching the web for Griffons Breeders they found one in Choteau with puppies that were just the age they wanted.
Being an artist Blair was excited to visit the
Charles Russell Museum in Great Falls were they were able to see original paintings and bronzes from many Western Artists as well as some of Charles Russell’s and visit Charles’ home and studio while learning about his life and times (1862-1926) as a Montana Cowboy & Artist.
Lauri was hoping to be able to hike
Tower Rock, an original campsite of The Lewis and Clark Expedition, which has been designated a Montana State Park; and is within easy walking distance of the
River’s Bend Lodge. But, because of heavy rain showers, the two days they stayed with us at the Lodge, Lauri and Blair opted to visit the
Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, to learn about adventures of The Lewis and Clark Expedition over hiking in the rain and mud. Hopefully when Blair returns in the fall to fish the Missouri River, the weather will co-operate and they will be able to hike Tower Rock… maybe even Ruby will be able to come with them.

Karen's first Rainbow Trout, and Guide Jay Dixon
Two Southern Belles from Texas, came to Montana in quest of filling part of their bucket lists. Visit Montana and learn to Fly-Fish. Karen and Sonemaly stayed at River’s Bend Lodge for two days while learning to be Fly-Fisher-women with Guide Jay Dixon. The First day out they spent seven hours on the Missouri River, Fly-Fishing… it rained intermitantly and was colder than normal… but they had a great time and caught several fish each. These ladies had such a great attitude, the river was high and weather was not the best…they insisted, “It beats triple digit heat any day of the week!”
Even as beginners they had great luck, way better then my first time, all I caught were bird nests. It reminded me of fishing with my grandsons; I spent most of my first time, untangling fishing line!
Day two of their Montana Fly-Fishing Adventure was colder, with lots more rain and hail… and yes several more large fish…The ladies returned to the Lodge cold and soaked to the skin.

Guide (Mike Agee w/fish) and Karl. Some happy fishermen!
Today May 25,2011 the Missouri is running at 15,400 (cfs) below Holter Dam, the Deerborn is running at 2,900 (cfs). The tributaries, especially the Deerborn are adding a lot of dirty water to the Missouri right now, a strong mudline can be identified on river left when passing the Deerborn and on down stream through Marshall Lanes. Just before dark I saw enough rising fish had it been earlier in the day I would have been tempted to try a few dry dries.
My buddies Micheal and Karl from Nashville, Tenn. stayed at the Lodge a week ago for four days of fishing on the Missouri River;

This is what it looks like looking across the river this morning and for the last couple of days the clouds of frozen moisture coming off the river and ice flowing down very little visibility.
The good news is what Cindy is up to? Testing recipes and fine tuning them in her special way and guess what? I have to be the official taste tester now this is tough duty but hey, somebody has to do it! This time the recipe she is critiquing is Shrimp Diane, (this is just my all time favorite seafood dish) but I will suffer though these days of testing… for your dinning pleasure. When spring finally gets here… I may have an extra 50 lbs to lose. Shrimp Diane is our February Valentines Special, Cindy’s recipe for this dish will be posted on our blog as soon as she has finished developing it soon…. and no their are no testing left over’s! (I’m sure it part of my job description to eat all of them)LOL
The geese are having a bit of a tough time with this weather can you see them huddling together on the island? Between the clouds of frozen moisture and my camera’s lack of magnification it may be difficult.
