Blackfoot River - Summer Fly Box

Fish the Blackfoot like you know it — because now you do. The Blackfoot River Summer Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Blackfoot from June through August. Summer on the Blackfoot is the classic Montana experience that Maclean wrote about. Caddis hatches in the evenings, hoppers along the banks, and wild westslope cutthroat willing to eat dry flies. This box is built around the Blackfoot's summer hatch calendar — caddis, PMDs, and grasshoppers. Every fly was chosen with dry fly fishing and hopper-dropper rigs in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year. What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering elk hair caddis, PMD dries, hopper patterns, and attractor nymphs. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season. Pro tip from the water: Evening caddis hatches on the Blackfoot can be spectacular in June and July. Fish the riffles at dusk with a size 14-16 elk hair caddis. Whether you're making your first trip to the Blackfoot or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop. Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
