Extravagant Ones:
And now a word from our Outfitter, "John The Great" Gould!!

Greetings 2010 Extravaganza Participants,
It is with my greatest pleasure that I welcome all of you returning, and any newcomers to the 2010 Extravaganza.
E09 was truly a wonderful adventure, and all around incredible outing with Ron, Kathy and the entire cast of participants last season. I can't tell you how great it was to be back with the Extravaganza, and to share the resources of Montana with such a great group of people. The "gag-gifts" were hilarious, and the instant connections between guest and guide was a sight to behold as we watched that many boats roll out of the parking lot and spread to the wind towards our many sections of rivers here.
Winter in Montana: The Bitterroot and the upper Clark Fork are both fishing very well right now, and myself, and our guides have been doing some prospecting as of late out there, in preparation for our upcoming trips in March and April.
At the moment, our snow packs are a little more on the safe side this winter. We are currently at about 56% in the Bitterroot drainage, 75% in the upper Clark Fork, and 55% in the lower Clark Fork. If you like, you can keep an eye on our snow packs at ftp://ftp.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/data/snow/update/mt.txt
Our snow packs tell us quite a bit about our upcoming fishing season, and the past few years water conditions now have our trout in the most amazing shape they could possibly achieve. No matter what the rest of our seasons weather should befall us, the trout here will be looking up and eating dry flies with abandon this year!
Pre-E: Our spring run off typically starts in late April and goes through the end of the first week in June. We are currently prepared to fish right on into May this year, take a week off for the main push of high water, and be right back out there for the Salmon fly hatch, possible even in the last week of May on the East Fork of the Bitterroot. The hatches keep coming at a great clip, and keep us, and our fish busy right through until the end of October. Mid-June and early July is an exciting time, because so many hatches are overlapping each other, turning the trout into hungry, fly chasing machines. We are basically looking to have a more reasonable amount of water, and more options on where to float this round. And of course, some very, very healthy fish for the E'10!!!
Day 1 for each Group: I am proud to announce, the 2nd annual HAWAIIAN SHIRT DAY! This will be held on the first day of fishing for each of the three groups. The "ugliest", or I might say, most "unique" shirt will be awarded a prize yet to be determined. Possibly a bowl of soup!
We at Double Up Outfitters, plan on having a great time with all of you! Let's get ready to catch some beautiful trout, learn some things about trout and fly fishing, and have a truly amazing time in this incredible place called Montana! Pack your bags, charge your camera batteries and let's go fishing!
See you soon,
