Greetings from Montana Fly Fishing Guides!
 
Spring time Rainbow Trout
There are a ton of things going on this month as fishing, guide bookings and spring in general charge at us.  As you'll see in this eNewsletter we've got a lot of information for you to assimilate.  Some highlights are the Casting Accuracy series on the Montana Fish Bum Blog, our X-tra Early Special fishing discount, and much more (see below). 
 
However, we are most excited about the fact that we finally get to start doing fishing reports!  Check out our short Video Blog of our recent Missouri River trip as well as the recent Yellowstone River Report.
 
With so much happening in the next couple weeks we encourage you to stay up to date on the latest articles, fishing reports and general information on our Montana Fish Bum Blog.  Check back often as we are committed to keeping you updated and informed of all the noteworthy happenings.
Please feel free to comment on the blog, email us or just give us a call.

We have to admit we are especially excited to fish this spring.  El NiƱo must be working its magic on us as well as the early warm weather.  Last season we had one of the best springs in recent memory in terms of guiding and fishing.  Most of you weren't able to take advantage, so this season we are offering an even bigger incentive.  Save over 20% on our peak season guide rates which equals $100 back to you!
If you've never been out during the spring make sure to read our Spring Fishing article to see what you've beem missing!

Casting Accuracy II
Continued from last month
Casting Accuracy In this post on casting accuracy we want to eliminate some obvious errors in technique that we see on a daily basis.  If you can fix any of these issues your casting will improve in a single day!
Problem #1 - Breaking your wrist.  This is a loop and distance killer.  Remember casting the fly line is all about controlling the line in the air.  So having good loop control starts with not bending/braking your wrist - especially on the back cast.
Solution - if you just can't seem to fix this is to stick the butt of your rod in your long sleeved shirt.  Try it and you'll be amazed! See the other 4 problems & solutions...
YVL - Updates 
What's new & improved 
While the mild winter settled over Paradise Valley these past few months the Yellowstone Valley Lodge has been a fury of activity. The new owner has shown his passion for the property by making several major improvements. These much needed upgrades have touched nearly every building on the property and are certain to enhance our guests experience.
The home of Paradise Valley Grill has been completely renovated and will be virtually unrecognizable to former guests.  Some of the improvements include more seating, larger bar area, a beautiful wine rack, open kitchen design and much more.

Yellowstone Report 
03/04/2010 Update
Yellowstone River Fishing Report When it's warm this time of year AND the wind doesn't blow upwards of 15 mph that's a great day to go fishing. There's not a whole lot of insect activity right now, but there are some midges in the afternoon, a few early baetis, and every once in a while you see those tiny black stone flies crawling long the snowy banks.  Continued...
