Early Spring in Montana!

Extravagant Ones:
 
I thought you would enjoy the attached photos taken about an hour ago along Rock Creek which give you a peek of what the now snow-barren landscape here looks like, as well as a peek of Group C's Brian "The Stick" Shepard in turn peeking along the river's edge.  Brian and his son Nicholas are visiting this Easter Weekend to enjoy two days of fishing with Double Up Outfitters, the first of which will find me accompanying them tomorrow along with my Spring breaking college sophomore daughter, beautiful Trina.
 
This "tween" time of the year finds Montana in a quiet hush--with a barrenesque landscape contrasted with buds-a-popping on the Larch pine trees (Montana's only deciduous pine tree); with the rivers' waters a bit muddy from recent rainfall yet still fishable before the yet-to-come Spring runoff; and with the air still crisp but not laced by the bitter, biting cold that it contained just a month ago when your Hostess With The Mostess and I were last here.
 
Hopefully tomorrow evening The Stick (named for his keen ability to cast [and at times snap in pieces] his fishing stick, btw) and RCR will have tales of fishing glory and pics to back them up to share with "y'all".
 
In the interim, a blessed Good Friday to each of you from the scene of it all,
 
Rock Creek Ron
