EDITOR’S CORNER:
Another trip around the sun completed, and here comes summer full of promises and adventures.
It’s been a wet spring for us here in Montana, which is a good thing for crops and refilling our massive
reservoirs. Everywhere, green is the color of the month as life explodes on the prairie.
This month, we have a selection of diverse articles for your reading pleasure. June is one of those
months when plenty of opportunities to go fishing appear. Lakes, rivers, and salt all hold promises
of good catches. Our kokanee series from Gary Gordon continues with some excellent master class
level information. Mark Yuasa dives into Washington salmon opportunities, and John Kruse goes over
summer strategies for bass. That and more means a little bit of everything fishing-related for you to
enjoy!
Stay safe and have a great month!
