Adventure Guides 2010 T.V. Season to include Steve Summerhill and The River’s Edge

Last July I was fortunate enough to hook up with John Dietsch of the Adventure Guides television program on ESPN and share a day of fishing with him on McCoys Spring Creek over near Dillon, MT. John and I had what can only be described as an epic hopper fishing day as we traded off catching fish out of each run. John captured the whole day on video and will be airing it on the 2010 season of the Adventure Guides television show on ESPN. Here is a little teaser for the upcoming show ….

p.s. If you have not had a chance to fish McCoys Spring Creek, you need to do that. It is an excellent small spring creek experience. For more information and guides for McCoys, you can contact us at The River’s Edge at 406-586-5373 or call Steve Bielenberg at McCoys in Dillon at 406-683-6508.

Happy to be Buff

 I remember when I started working at River’s Edge last summer and noticing the shop carried these things called “Buffs”.   I also remember scoffing at them and thinking you’d have to be a serious dork to wear one of those. 

Bozeman’s only Clacka Craft Drift Boat Pro Shop

Good news for the Clacka Craft drift boat enthusiasts of Bozeman, The River’s Edge just became Bozeman’s only Clacka Craft pro shop. This allows us to sell new Clacka Craft drift boats and answer any questions about the boats that you may have.  

Womens Night A Success

Last Thursday night, the shop held its first ever women’s only event.  We had been planning this event for over a month and had done a bit of great marketing to help spread the word (the full-page article about the event in last Thursday’s Bozeman Chronicle probably didn’t hurt either).  As the night approached, none of us really knew what to expect for turnout.   All we knew was that we had received a lot of positive response thus far.   As you can see from the photo of the parking lot and the crowd, turnout was sweet!

As I sit here trying to come up with an accurate prediction about how the fishing and water conditions over the next couple of months will play out in our part of Southwest Montana, I know how the weatherman feels.  No matter what I write, I am going to be wrong on some part of my predictions.  Well it won’t be the last time, here goes.
