We have determined our schedule for the 2010 fishing season.
Our Fishing Experience schedule is:
There has been a minor modification to our schedule to allow attendance by the Warriors at a Montana State football game.
FX 5-09 has been shortened by one day to the normal 6 day schedule. FX 6-09 has been extended by one day to accommodate the football game and still allow the full fishing experience.
The current schedule is as follows:
Our schedule for 2009 is:
We pair each of the six warriors with a volunteer and an experienced guide. We prefer that the volunteers be fly fishermen but are not hard over on that. We ask that on the river the volunteers that are fly fishermen, not to fish, but rather be helpers and companions for the warriors.
A typical Fishing Experience (FX) goes as follows:
Day 1 Greeting, Transportation to Residence, Dinner at Home by “Moms”
Day 2 “Fly Fishing 101″ at a Local Pond, Dinner at Home by “Moms”
Day 3 Guided Fishing, Dinner at Home by “Moms”
Day 4 Guided Tour of Yellowstone Park, Dinner at a Restaurant Enroute To “Home”
Day 5 Guided Fishing And Volunteer Appreciation Dinner at Local Restaurant
Day 6 Goodbyes and Departure.

Like March, FX 3-08 came in like a lion, and left, if not quite like a lamb, like a calmed ram! The original plan was to take four WWs and a Recreation Therapist (RT) on the camping and cutthroat trout fishing trip of a lifetime-a four-day trip into world famous Slough Creek (more…)
Here’s some words of wisdom from one of our WQW volunteer guides, Chris Fleck. Chris writes a fly fishing article for the Stillwater County News, and this excerpt came from a recent column.
