We are calling out the Urban Mo.  It's right here, runs through town, huge runs and lots of water.  Do people fly fish here?  Some do.  Who?  They would never tell you.  Where at?  Haha...why do you think we never hear about it.  What hatches?  Hex's, drakes, baetis...hmmm... I have never tied a Hex.

This is important.  Where do kids fly fish after school?  Do they even realize the opportunity is there?  Who are the sticks in Great Falls that land more trout here in town that up stream from Craig, and still have a seat for a Prime Rib at the Bar S by 7? 

I grew up just outside of Milwaukee, WI.  Not traditional fly fishing country.  About the only knowledge or resource I had was the Cortland VCR cassette that came with my starter fly rod combo.  With way less opportunity by 3rd and 4th grade we were like hawks scanning the Milwaukee river, stopping in baitshops, park ponds and creeks searching for information on what we could fool on a fly.  We found trout in the stream at Regner Park (we decided they are impossible to catch and quit trying, those 8 inch trout must not eat poppers like the bass do..huh?) , we landed Pike in the Milwaukee, we landed smallmouth, and carp. 

So the Urban Mo?  Here is something to challenge you.  Anyone can land fish in a blue ribbon trout stream, even people out for their first time.  Very few, land fish on the Urban Mo. Let us know what you find, or don't (we understand and respect that, at least let us see a photo so we know what we are casting to).

(above trout was landed last night at location: unsaid by angler: anonymous... 5 minutes from work in Great Falls)
