Fish Today and Roubaix Tomorrow

RMR circa 2008 edition

 Well I'm back in Missoula, Montana for the week.  It's been good to be back, though it's been a little chilly.  Good news as I'm on the new team,  MBW Racing, from our home shop, Missoula Bicycle Works.  They have a great Cat 1-2 and Master's A (40+) team.  I'm stoked to be riding for their Master's team.
 

 I've got the CX bike all dialed in with a 50 tooth big chain ring and brand spankin' new 25c tires.  Forecast for tomorrow is light rain and snow.  Should be in the low 30's at the start.  Looks like things are shaping up for a great race. Let's just hope that I have good luck and can stay right in the mix!

Today was Fishing 101, and by that I mean that I got schooled by my best fishing buddy, Morgan.  He landed 5 of 6 that he had on the line.  I landed 1 of 5.  Whoops, looks like I'm a little rusty.  Anyhow, it was cold and windy today with not much of a bite until about 2pm when a nice March Brown hatch came on.  I had a poor selection of dries, so Morgan hooked up 4 times before I got a suitable pattern on that the fish would hit.  All-in-all it was an OK first day, but I can't wait to hit the Skwala stonefly hatch that should kick in over the next few weeks.

Be sure to check in next week for the race report...and maybe some trout picks, too.
