Northwest Reel Life April 2023 Volume 2 Issue 9 - Flipbook - Page 4
EDITOR’S CORNER:
Welcome to Summer! My daily routine in Big Sky Country is to wake up with the sun shining
in my eyes at daybreak. It's the best time of the day, having my morning coffee and feeding
the dogs. If my morning is free I've been loading up my float tube and visiting new fishing
spots around Great Falls. I'm always looking for that next fishing adventure!
Now is the time to stretch your horizons and make your own fishing memories. The Pacific
Northwest abounds with outdoor opportunities and we are blessed with diverse experiences
to be had. River, small ponds, big lakes, saltwater, Alpine lakes and more await you. The
possibilities are endless!
We at Northwest Reel Life hope that our magazine inspires you to explore all our region has
to offer. So enjoy this month's articles and go make some fishing memories!
