Mike Geary of Healing Waters Lodge in Twin Bridges, MT

Healing Waters Lodge is a fly fishing lodge, located in southwest Montana in the heart of the Ruby valley between the towns of Twin Bridges and Sheridan and approximately 28 miles north of Dillon. They are literally surrounded by mountain ranges, conservation minded landowners, and prolific trout habitat that includes spring creeks, streams, and rivers such as the Beaverhead, Big Hole, Jefferson, Madison, and Ruby.

Mike will be making his presentation via Zoom (Montana is a bit of a drive from Lone Tree!). Please join us at Lone Tree Brewing to watch the presentation as we will still have our featured fly tyer (Harlan Husmann) and monthly raffle, which includes some great Orvis prizes!

Additionally, here are some resources about this month’s speaker and his topic:

• An introduction to Mike

• The schools at his lodge in the Ruby Valley

• An introduction to the Smith River

• An introduction to a threat to the Smith River from Collin Cooney a Montana TU Field representative. Note: I cannot get the link he references to open but I have a link below for more information

• The Montana TU information on the Smith

• A link to a video showing the challenges to the rivers in the Ruby Valley: Ruby, Beaver Head and Big Hole, the rivers the form the Jefferson River

Clearly, there is a lot of information available! I’m certain Mike will have a concise summation of all this info during his presentation. Hope to see you there!
