The Blackfoot River 

Made famous from Normal Maclean’s ‘A River Runs Through It’, the Blackfoot River is as beautiful and scenic a river as we have in the area. Flowing out of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, cold, fast moving and oxygenated water provides perfect stonefly habitat. Highlighted by the June “salmonfly” hatch- bugs the size of hummingbirds fly around by the thousands. It is a sight directly out of a National Geographic film. Hitting this fabled hatch on the right day can produce the most exciting and explosive big-dry fly eats of the year. The Blackfoot holds cold water throughout our season and is home to a number of different hatches all producing fantastic fishing opportunities. There is always a fun and engaging day to be had on this famous river!
