Fellow Sportsmen,

   I had the opportunity to fish the Blackfoot river near Missoula, Montana in early July, and as you can see, the fishing was great. The Blackfoot was Norman McLean's (author of A River Runs Through It) favorite trout stream, and it's easy to understand why when one of these big German Browns takes your fly. I always use professional guides from the Missoulian Angler Outfitters in Missoula and have never been disappointed. If you go, give owner Paul Koller a call at 406-728-7766.

   Bird seasons are almost upon us, and it's time to make sure you've got the right gear before you go afield. TruckVault's wire mesh dog boxes are the toughest you'll find anywhere and provide great protection for your K-9 hunting pals. Constructed from heavy gauge steel and powder coated for a durable finish, these boxes will give you many years of rugged service.

   And don't forget to order your TruckVault early to avoid the annual rush. Though these Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies won't be ready for this fall's action, their owner will be well equipped when arriving at a favorite hunting spot with this TruckVault in the SUV's cargo area. Shotguns, shells and training collars can safely be left in the secure locking drawers throughout bird season while top loading the vault with dog boxes, soccer equipment or groceries.

My Regards,
