What's New at Big Sky Fishing.Com

This page is simply a listing of site construction progression. I will list anything new that gets posted on this site roughly once every week or two. As new things are added on a almost daily basis, this is a good place to check to look for the latest information at Big Sky Fishing.Com. Archives are available of the entire site progression. Just follow the menu links at the bottom of each page to see a progression.


November 24th, 2004 - Just got back from a hunting trip out in Winnett. Part of our trip involved hunting in the Missouri Break area. Have uploaded a new photo gallery that showcases this area. Visit the Missouri Breaks Photo Gallery.

Also cleaned up and re-organized some of the photo galleries on the site - including the main photo gallery page.

And lastly, added in some beautiful Sheepskin Rugs into the Country Gifts and Home section.


November 13th, 2004 - Just in time for winter, I've put together information about Snow Boots. I'm a big fan of Sorel Boots, so thought it high-time to put up some information about them. Also included is product listings of Sorel Boots for Men and Sorel Boots for Women.

Plus, I couldn't resist adding in some information about Ugg Boots. In case you haven't heard, Ugg Boots are wildly popular. Included in this section is general information about Ugg Boots, product listings of Ugg Boots for Men and Ugg Boots for Women, plus an Ugg Boot Care Guide.

Also included is a guide on How to Keep Your Feet Warm during cold weather.


November 10th, 2004 - Well, what a busy month! So busy I forgot about this section until now. Where to begin. Let's see, in mid-October someone hacked into my prior web hosts server and uploaded a bunch of files to a hobby site I have - turning it into a big "spam directory" site for mortgage ads! Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed with either how my hobby site became a spam site or the security provided by my old web host. So...had the fun of completely moving both the hobby site and this site (all 4000 pages of it) to a new host. This "little project" took about 2 weeks. I then spent another week or two chasing down various errors and other odd things that always seem to occur when you move a site to a new web host.

The good news, though, is that a ton of new features has now been added to Big Sky Fishing. A brand new forum, much more powerful than the previous one, has been added.

And, best of all, a new software package has been installed that lets users install their own photographs! If you have some pictures of Montana and would like to post them online for all to see, take a trip over to the new Online Photo Gallery where you can post them for free. You can also use this gallery to post any scenic Montana web cam views you happen to come across while visiting the many Montana Web Cams that are available.


October 5th, 2004 - Argh...what a project. But it is now mainly done. About 250-300 pages worth of content and pictures have now been uploaded about the Montana Hi-Line region. It covers most of the towns in the region, provides numerous photographs and a ton of information about the Hi-Line in general. Hope you like it.....the project took forever to complete! Also included is informaton about Fort Benton, too.


September 24th, 2004 - Just added information about a new river for the site, the Judith River. Also uploaded information and photographs for Lewistown, Montana and Winnett, Montana - which are part of the new and upcoming "small Montana towns" section that is being built. That section has now been completed, temporarily, at least.


September 11th, 2004 - Several new photo galleries have been added, including the Logging Lake Trail Photo Gallery and a Glacier Park Various Pictures Gallery #2. Additionally, trail and fishing information has been provided for Logging Lake in Glacier National Park.

The whole camping gear section is also nearly done being revised. Updated information about water filters, backpacking stoves and camp stoves has been added.


August 24th, 2004 - A new photo gallery, the Grinnell Glacier Trail Photo Gallery, has been added. I also reworked the whole sunglasses section of the site. A Sunglass Guide has been prepared and additional information is listed now about Oakley Sunglasses.


August 21st, 2004 - Did another sizeable addition. Information about the Loop Trail and the Trout Lake Trail in Glacier have been added. A Loop Trail Photo Gallery has also been posted. In addition, have posted another Glacier Photo Gallery with varioius shots from around the park, including Trout Lake. Profiles for Fishercap Lake, Bullhead Lake and Red Rock Lake in Glacier Park have also been added.


August 19th, 2004 - Just did a huge update, with a daunting amount yet to come. In any event, here is what is new. First, completely revised the Hiking Gear section. New information has been provided about daypacks (also known as technical backpacks) along with some recommended packs to use when day hiking in Montana. Updated information has been uploaded about Hiking Staffs and Trekking Poles, Rain Jackets for Hiking, Hydration Systems and the often forgot about but handy to have, Hiking Pants.

And that is just the first part. A huge update has been done to the Glacier National Park section. New hiking trails, including the Highline Trail, Iceberg Lake Trail and the Swiftcurrent Pass Trail have been profiled. Photo galleries also exist for each of these trails - too. To find these new photo galleries, you can visit the new Glacier National Park Pictures page, for links to all Glacier photo galleries on the site (there are more on the way!). There is still more updates to be done to this Glacier Park section, so a few dead links do exist right now.


August 8th, 2004 - Have just updated the Hiking Boots section with new information and products, in preparation for a bunch of new content about hiking in Glacier National Park that is about to be added. The new hiking boot section contains information about day hiking boots and recommendations on Men's Hiking Boots and Women's Hiking Boots. Also provided is a page to find Hiking Boots on Sale on the net.


August 3rd, 2004 - I have so much new content to put up on the site that it is rather daunting in figuring out where to start. Also got sidelined for two weeks in mid and late July while my Mom was out here visiting - we went all over the state to grab some new photographs and content. Look for it up on the site sometime soon, I hope!.

I'm still in the process of reworking the whole Western Wear section still. Just uploaded a new section on Western Boots, including an article on How to Care for and Fit Cowboy Boots, as well as pages about Lucchese Boots, Ariat Boots and Tony Lama Boots.

Future things to appear this month, hopefully, include coverage of about 15 new towns in Montana (including Havre, Lewistown, Glasgow), information about the Montana Hi-Line, many new lakes, coverage of some additional rivers and a pecular section about some of Montana's Ghost Towns. Also a few new trails in Glacier Park. I've gathered the content and photographs for all of this, just need to find the time to prepare the 300+ pages about it! Hopefully by end of August.


July 9th, 2004 - Quite a bit is new, just been lax about updating this part. Took a trip out to Eastern Montana for two weeks, also - so look for a bunch of new content coming soon about the Hi-Line. Have also been busy doing "housekeeping" on the site.

Finished up the Montana Skiing section for the year, adding in a review and pictures of Great Divide Ski Area.

Am in the process of redoing the Western Apparel section and have added in a section about Cowboy Hat Care, Stetson Hats and Resistol Cowboy Hats. Also updated the calendar section with 2005 Calendars.
