Homage to the Chef

There are no guarantees in fishing. Angling is a fickle game. We can always say, "the fishing was good, the catching not so," but sometimes it is difficult to truly feel that way. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, sometimes trout just don't bite. In Montana, perhaps, it happens less than other places, but it still happens every once in a while. 
But for the off day on the river, we have a back-up plan at the Blue Damsel. One thing that can make up for a slow day on the river is a top-notch cocktail and a hot meal. And around the dinner table, we are always on. Unlike anglers, Chef Josh doesn't have off days. Whether he's working on slow smoked rib-eye, roasted corn chowder, pesto orzo, or maybe a fresh huckleberry tart, he seems to always be on his game. So for the day when the fish just won't cooperate or when your hook set is never on time, we say thank you, Chef Josh, for providing the bite everyday. Guaranteed
