Norman McLean seems to have provided much of the inspiration for our Montana adventures. Using his spinning reel instead of a fly rod, Shawn caught six species of fish -- the two pictured here are the Montana Mountain Whitefish (the namesake of our little resort town) and the Cutbow (a hybrid of the Cutthroat and Rainbow trouts). He also caught Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Yellow Perch, and Brook Trout. Not bad when you consider that all the locals told him, "There aren't any fish this year -- too hot and too many people." I guess you have to go where the fish -- not the people -- are if you want to catch fish!
