Fishing the Blackfoot River in Late August


Jack fished yesterday with Marshall Bloom and Mike Connell on a lower stretch of the Blackfoot River. It was a beautiful day, but no photos were taken. The Blackfoot is a great choice this time of year because the water is a little cooler and there are decent hatches happening. As a bonus, you can’t beat the scenery.

Jack is fishing the Blackfoot River next two days with Lyle Cunningham from Arizona. They will be camping tonight and I can’t wait to see photos and hear about the trip. I will be posting photos from the trip soon.

Jack Saunders caught a nice cuttbow trout. Jack Mauer is holding it.

You will see some smiling faces as Jack Saunders, Doug Nation, and Jack Mauer
spent a fun day on the Blackfoot River near Ovando, MT.

I am posting my favorite fish and scenery photo to the left. It is Jack Saunders (he caught the cuttbow trout) and Jack Mauer (holding the fish). I am also posting a slide show of 8 photos. Enjoy!

Jeff Rogers – 21″ Brown Trout on the Blackfoot River

As a local resident, Jeff has the good fortune of jumping on fishing opportunities when they present themselves and the dry fly fishing on the Blackfoot has been stellar. Today Jeff was fishing with Jack Mauer, Wapiti Waters Fly Fishing Montana. He caught brown trout and the last one was a 19″ rainbow trout. Jeff was fishing with one of Jack’s Elk Hair Caddis #12.

The Bitterroot water levels are dropping fast and it is warming up. It is a bit longer drive but Jack is loving the Blackfoot and the Big Hole right now.
