- Anyone can fly fish
- You can fly fish anywhere there is water

How Do I Get Started?
All you need is a fly rod, reel, flies, line, and water!
Basic casting key terms:
-Load: Bend in the rod
-Loop: What the line should form during a cast
-45 degrees: average angle that your arm should create to your body in a cast
-Pop to a stop: acceleration to that 45 degree angle forwards and backwards

Day 1: Blackfoot River
Went to fly shop, got licenses, took pictures, and headed out
45 minute drive to the Blackfoot, where we unloaded the boat and hit the water
Fished with streamers due to weather conditions
Fished until 12, then ate lunch provided by guides- it was delicious!
Continued down the river until around 5, where we loaded the boats and headed back to the hotel, making sure to stop at the boat inspection station
Caught the most fish on the Blackfoot
Day was extremely windy, but we had a great time!

Day 2: Clark Fork River
Left at 8 A.M. on an hour drive to the Clark Fork River
Fished from 9:15 to 12:30, and we again ate lunch provided by Travis and Russell
Fished with dry flies because there was very little wind
Ended around 5:30, and again headed back to the hotel
We weren’t as successful as the day before, but still a great day!

Day 3: Bitterroot River
Headed out around 7:45, as we had an hour and a half drive to the put-in spot
This river was much more crowded than the Clark Fork and Blackfoot
Fished until 12:30, where we ate one final, delicious, guide-provided lunch
We continued down the river until 5, when we packed up the boat and headed to the Lolo Creek Steakhouse for a final meal with our guides
