Welcome! You've found my favorite back-eddy in Dave's House of HI-FI. It's a little dusty, but like an old photo album, it brings back great memories.

I lived in Great Falls, Montana for about three years and spent as much time as possible fly-fishing and backpacking.

To remember where I went and how the fishing was, I started taking notes when I came home after a fishing trip. After a year or so, I put the notes together and started posting them on the Internet. The reports look a little rugged, but I think they'll help you find a new fishing hole. For more ideas, be sure to check out my recommended guide books. They helped me find a lot of new places to fish.

Any comments or questions are welcome. Dave
