Yesterday, Meriwether Ranch hosted the annual Kids Day on the Big Hole sponsored by the Big Hole River Foundation. From what I saw a fun and informative time was had by all. Thanks to the many guides and outfitters, FWP personnel and volunteers the kids not only had a good time they learned a lot. River safety, fish and wildlife of Montana, fly casting, aquatic entomology, fly tying, and even got to kick back and enjoy a short float on the river. Butte Walmart provided lunch: hot dogs, hamburgers, cookies, chips and drinks.

| FWP wardens taught river safety, dangers of cold water and rescue techniques |
 |
| Fly tying as you might expect was a big hit with the even the little kids |
|
 |
| But for most it seemed fly casting was the highlight...like the entire bunch really got into it... |
|
|
 |
| While most fascinating in show probably went to the bugs... |
 |
| The high water added to the excitement and judging the comments a bit of fear...not that many would admit it. |
