It's been time for change and it saddens me that these shootings continue to happen. I'm flying solo this week becasue I'm passionate about this and I'm tired of seeings these shootings. Scott didn't feel comfortable talking about it, knowing where I stand and that's his choice. I can't, NOT do anything. This will be a very different podcast if you choose to listen. It will piss some folks off and it will rally some others. In the end, I just hope we can find some solutions so that students, concert and movie goers, and worshipers across the country can feel safe again. We are sportsmen and women and we need to lead the charge for change.

On this week's, The Montana Dream Cast, Dan Troupe get's arrested for fighting two cops, John Winders "allegedly" stabs a guy--sounds about right. Scott comes up with his urninal principle and we also introduce a new member to the podcast. She will definitely bring some objectivity and fact checking to what is normally a pretty opinionated cast.

Yep, I jumped up on my soap box after a couple cocktails and we came to the conclusion, if you want there to be civility on the river, then hire professional guides that understand the local culture.
Mike Kuhnert of Evolution Fly Fishing joins the podcast this week with his defense of the guides using the rig we talked about last week. Don't ever forget, fly fishing is a business for a few of us.

The season is ramping up and I'm telling stories of Jim and John. We also visit the most recent slam on Rob Quist but is performing at a nudist colony really a bad thing?
What would you use if you wanted to destroy a perfectly good TV? Apparently Greg Gianforte favors the double barrel shotgun whereas Rob Quist would rather shoot a .30-.30 lever action Henry's.
