Nate, Fred, Matt and myself took a trip out to Missoula, MT to fish the Rock Creek and Blackfoot Rivers. Came away with a good number of fish (about 20) and a lot of stories.
I love Montana and Wyoming. Spent many a day and night fishing in Yellowstone. My most memorable Yellowstone moment was fishing hoppers on the Lamar river in the dark. That's right in the dark. I was getting ready to leave because the sun was setting in August when a couple of local guys showed up and asked why I was leaving just when the fishing was about to get good. I had already caught at least 12 cutthroats in less than three hours. I couldn't believe it nighttime is when the big cuts come out. All you need to do is be very quiet and listen for the slurping sound, set the hook and hang on. Thanks for this site Dave I hope to add to it in the future. My new hobby is Bass fishing can't wait for spring.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a trip with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first trip has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second trip, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
