Jack took me, Merle, fishing the other day. When we have time, we try to get out and fish together. I don’t row the boat except in slower pike water — there are too many hazards and I am just not skilled enough yet. So, when Jack fishes, we pull over and wade fish. On this day, we had plenty of opportunities, plenty of hatches, plenty of fish and maybe a little too much “W” (wind). At the end of the day, we were really glad we braved the cold temperatures and fished the beautiful middle Bitterroot. After all, it is our “backyard.”

First spring day on the upper Big Hole River for Jack. Jeff Rogers is fishing with Wapiti Waters. Let me just say, “it was windy!” and cold!

Jack Mauer and Nick Stipech. Jack and Nick love fishing together. Nick is a great guide, too and Jack hires Nick as often as he can. They make a great team on and off the water.

Jack worked last Saturday with two friends/outfitters/guides Josh Lauer and Scott Nicolarsen. They all met at a parking lot in Hamilton, then each went their own way to fish their choice stretch of the 80+ mile Bitterroot River. By looking at the group in the parking lot, it might have looked like a lot of boats fishing together, but that was not the case. They fished separate sections. Too many boats in close proximity are not doing the fish any favors or the public (especially the wade fishers). Jack and his friends work hard and practice good manners and ethics.
This Saturday was like most, the river was pretty crowded, but the fishing was good for Jack and his boat. See some photos below.
