And That's a Wrap

My vacation in montana tommorrow will be officially done. just when the family and i had the mind set that montana was gonna be where we called home, i got a job offer back at hill afb, utah which is where i retired from. more pay, less hours and benefits was tough to pass up, plus now my wife doesn't have to quit her good job that she has. i really do like the missoula area better but for financial reasons utah is a better fit right now. i will truly miss some of the streams that i have wet my feet in and regret not hitting some of the waters i meant to, but it will be nice to get back and fish some of the waters that i do miss in utah. looking forward to chasing big aggressive browns again.

"less hours"

If true, that has some potential for more fishing surely?

Good Luck with the new job.

Managing life to make more time for fishing is a difficult and neglected skill that most of us could benefit from honing...

Glad you had fun in MT, but will be glad to have your company back in UT. Great fishing buddies are hard to find. Fall is here and the browns are gettin' angry!

Congrats on the job MIke. I am forced to make the same decision soon too. I was really hoping to get a chance to fish with you while you were here. Enjoy the big browns of Utah.
