Blackfoot River with Finfetchers
What to Expect with a Finfetcher on the Blackfoot River
The historical Blackfoot River flows west from the Continental Divide traveling thru cliff lined canyons which give way to deep pools, swift chutes, and glacial rock gardens. In late spring and early summer, Salmon Flies and
Golden Stones hatch along its banks. Golden Stones continue to hatch throughout the summer along with May Flies and Caddis, making dry fly fishing an option all season long. Of course just like all great streams, the fish in the Blackfoot are always interested in a well placed nymph or streamer pattern. The majority of the fish in the Blackfoot are West Slope
Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout. Browns, Brookies, and Bull Trout also make the Blackfoot their home.
Rates
Full Day for up to 2 people: $425 (Aprox. 9 hours on the water and includes lunch)
Half Day for up to 2 people: $300 (Aprox. 5 hours on the water)
What to BringAn extremely over used statement in Montana, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute,” unfortunately it is spot on, so we’ll continue to use it. When planning a trip to Montana, whether in August or November, always packs for the elements.
