Just west of Perma the 10th Sub, crosses from the north side of the Flathead River to the south side. The river is a amazing clear, teal color until it meats up with the Clark Fork river in Paradise and becomes more blue and muddy.
The distinctive V8 symbol appeared on the grilles of Ford vehicles in the 1930s and 40s, showing that the vehicle was powered by flathead V8 engines. Ford didn't adopt overhead valve engines until the early 1950s.
The wife and I went for an evening paddle near Wild Horse Island on Flathead Lake MT. Smoke from a nearby fire caused a haze in the air, but didn't really hinder the color too much.
The Middle Fork of the Flathead River forms the southwest border of Glacier National Park. Here we see it along Highway 2 at Essex.

This scene shows where Flathead River leaves the basin of Flathead Lake, but first passes through Kerr Dam, which maintains the level of Flathead Lake artificially. You see the bridge here which is about a mile long on.Hwy 93. Did many years of swimming in Flathead Lake...:) Have a nice Sunday everyone. We've had surprise company today who are leaving tomorrow...busy! :) Best viewed large.
It's pouring rain here today...was gonna go get some flood images...but not in the rain! So I decided for more sunshine on Flathead Lake!
Stay safe everyone in all this bad weather!
My wife and daughters went searching for dragonflies near Hilllsdale Wildlife Area in northeast Kansas. We weren't very successful at Antioch marsh, but stopped at a couple of creek crossings along 215th west of Spring Hill. A Dragonhunter and this 3 foot long cat were under one bridge.
A 10m-tall scaffold is set up in an inlet to watch flathead mullet. It is made of logs that are combined to form a structure in the shape of a pyramid, and there is a seat at the top. People watch the 25-m² net at the bottom of the inlet, and pull it to catch fish when a school of fish comes along. The origin of this traditional fishing method is not clear, but it was used from the Edo period until the end of the war. There used to be more than 10 watchtowers, but they disappeared due to a decrease in the number of fish, and the amount of time and labor required for fishing. The fishing has not been conducted since 1996; the four watchtowers that exist today are for tourism purposes only. In 1889, an American astrologist, Percival Lowell, visited Noto and described the watchtower as being “like the nest of the mythological bird Roc”.

I couldn't believe how small and shallow the Flathead River looked in this shot! Anyone who knows this river knows how large it is and very deep! Glacier National Park is just down the road a few miles at this point.....
Have a wonderful day everyone! :)

Another view of the river...this is over near Kalispell, MT. The Flathead is also over close to us...about 40 miles from here. I've heard it said to be careful, as there has been Rattlesnakes spotted over. So I'm always careful, but we rarely go over that way...it's kind of close to the National Bison Range. In the Summer when it's hot, snakes usually can be seen along the river in isolated places.
An FWC Biologist met with Patchen the day after the catch to get an official certified weight and measurements and to have the application notarized. The official measurements were 48.03 inches in total length, with a girth of 35.43 inches.
Flathead Catfish: Pylodictis olivaris
Appearance:
A flat head, tiny eyes, square-ish tail and protruding lower jaw distinguish flathead from other. They are yellow-brown, usually mottled above, with a creamy colored belly.
Habitat:
Flathead are found in the Apalachicola and Escambia rivers, where they recently arrived from Georgia and Alabama. Flatheads prefer long, slow-flowing, moderately-turbid rivers.
Behavior:
Spawning occurs in late spring. One or both parents excavate the nest that is usually made in a natural cavity or near a large submerged object. Females lay a golden-yellow mass of up to 100,000 eggs. The nest is guarded and the eggs are agitated by the male to keep them clean and aerated. They feed on other fish, especially catfish and sunfish.
Additional Information
State Record: 63.80 pounds.
Big Catch minimum: 36 inches or 25 lbs.
Fishing Tips and Facts: Their solitary lifestyle makes them more difficult to catch than other catfish. They bite best at night while in shallow water looking for food. To catch flatheads, anglers typically fish on the bottom using heavy tackle with live or freshly cut fish.
So lovely over here in the summer...will be going back before too long to get some images of this awesome part of Montana...lived over here for 25 years..:)
We'll be going on this highway along the lake tomorrow....it won't look this nice though with it being Winter...may even be some ice on it but I doubt it!!! It'll be really nice to get some current pics of it.......this one is acouple years old! Have a great day everyone!!!! 👍
Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake by surface area that is west of the Mississippi River in the contiguous United States, if one takes Red Lake and Lake of the Woods to be north of the Mississippi River, rather than west of the river.
With a surface area of between 191.5 sq mi and 197 sq mi, Flathead Lake is slightly larger in surface area than Lake Tahoe, but it is much smaller in volume.
The lake is a remnant of the ancient, massive glacial dammed lake, Lake Missoula of the era of the last interglacial. Flathead Lake is 27.3 mi (43.9 km) long and up to 15.5 mi (24.9 km) wide. Flathead Lake has a maximum depth of 370.7 ft (113.0 m), and an average of 164.7 ft (50.2 m). This makes Flathead Lake deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf. Polson Bay, at the lake's outlet, was raised 10 ft (3.0 m) by Kerr Dam. It is one of the cleanest lakes in the populated world for its size and type.
I just love this river! Now if I remember right it originates in Glacier Park. This scene is taken near the park entrance. Have a nice weekend everyone...pouring rain here ..sigh! Yuck! :)
