Written by: KynsLee Scott, Blackfoot River Outfitters

After just a couple minutes of her very first float trip, Blair landed this sweet Montana cutthroat.

This was Blair’s first time ever in a boat, in Montana, and casting a fly rod. She did great, and it was a treat to have her in my drift boat! Less than 100 yards from the put-in—after I had just finished giving her some instruction on land—Blair hooked a very nice cutthroat on a dry fly! She was so amped on fishing that she and her husband bought Encounter Outfits at the end of the day. They are hooked for life!
