EDITOR’S CORNER:
Fall has arrived and I’ll be honest – it’s hard to focus on fishing when there’s pheasant flushing all over
the place here in Great Falls. That said, I am super excited because by the time this edition hits the stores,
I should have my new boat. After living here for three years driving by the Missouri River every day, I
decided it was time to get a boat made for river fishing. Around Great Falls the Missouri slows down and
changes from a trout fishery to a warmwater fishery. Pike, walleye, sturgeon, and catfish are all species
that anglers target. For that, a riverboat with a jet motor is just the ticket to find those deep holes and
backwater eddies.
After a visit to The Elephant Boys in Spokane, I found the perfect boat for my needs – a 16-foot Lowe jon
boat with a 35 hp jet, trolling motor, and fish finder. The cool thing is Elephant Boys don’t sell already built
boats, they build them in their shop from the hull up. Which means I’m getting just the boat to fit my
needs. Check them out if you’re in the market for a custom new boat, they are worth the drive to Spokane.
Good luck with your Fall Fishing Adventures!
