Fall fishing heating up on Flathead Lake
The August lull seems to be over with better fishing on Flathead Lake. As the fish begin to stage for the fall spawn, they’ll be in decreasingly shallow water and become more aggressive. Best fishing times will be from daylight till noon and then from 3:00 p.m. till dark. The fish will begin to leave muddy-weedy areas and congregate in rocky areas most often adjacent to deep water. Common spawning areas are from Boot Legger Island East to Bird Island. Angel Point South to Painted rocks and in a more limited way from the North Point of Woods Bay south to the East side of Skidoo Bay. |

Cino Heroica — a heroic bike ride celebrating cycling’s yesteryears
This ride is a celebration of the cycling days of old when road racing in Europe meant racing on unpaved dirt roads over mountain passes, in sometimes horrific conditions. The racers rode steel framed bikes that were built as much for toughness as for speed. They drank wine and smoked Gitanes to quell their suffering. “Nutrition” was real food, like cheese, salami, and a baguette. “Support” meant your ability to deal with adversity and the tire you slung over your shoulders. |
