Does this mean no Coulee Conclave, or is this in addition to that one?

It sounds like the ********* conclave is what is going to be held this year, but that is just my considered opinion Hardly a definitive answer.

I could be convinced to go to MT. Would need to involve a side trip to the Gros Ventre wilderness and Hoback area though.

Command Central is on board. I will be there unless something unforeseen happens (I do not have a good track record at the last 2 Coulee events) but I keep trying!!! Just please let me know where asap, as I'll need to find an RV park, and I here they fill up fast and far in advance. Really looking forward to Montana guys and gals.

I will do my best to show up. I will probably be in the area the week before, to get full value of the long journey.

It's Montana, .........Wherever it's wet there's trout.

I have to echo this, we may have a lot of the famous big water but we have some of the best small stream fishing you’ll find.

I agree with hotdish. I really wish I could spend more time on bigger water. Small stream fishing is great, but there are days where my flies spend more time in the brush and trees than on the water. I might not be able to read a big river, but I'm pretty sure I'd at least get my fly wet consistently.

Hmmmmmm..........

Thanks for the head's up Dusty.

Thanks for all the responses thus far, we are looking forward to this event to say the very least. I will sometime, in the next couple of months, put together a guide to the area, including links to guiding (driftboats don't row themselves), food, and lodging.

Guessing most everyone will try to come longer than the clave dates and I will have tons of recommendations.

Usually out west somewhere during those last few weeks of summer anyways... count me in!

I see a KOA about 8 miles south of town. Both tent sites and cabins to rent.

With some help from Hellmtflies, have been looking at RV facilities in the area and have narrowed it down to two. It will likely be the ********* KOA since we are KOA members and get the discount and points. That leaves us 45 miles from Bozeman and 35 miles from the North entrance to YNP. My wife and I will be in the area for 10-11 days - Yellowstone - museums - fishing - mountains - heh, it's BIG SKY COUNTRY!
Can't wait for our first trip to the great State of Montana!
