Book, movie, stories mythologize Montana’s Blackfoot River

After stepping atop a loose rock lying along the banks of the Blackfoot River https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfoot_River_%28Montana%29 and stumbling, Kristin Fisher couldn’t help but think of her father.

"To this day he has never learned to swim, yet he fished this river extensively," she said. "Mom must have wondered if he would ever come back. He’d be gone all day, and she was home with three kids."

Fisher was one of about 30 people touring the river on Sunday as part of a Seeley Lake literary festival honoring author Norman Maclean. The event was organized by Alpine Artisans, Inc. Maclean’s novella, "A River Runs Through It," discusses the art and mechanics of fly-fishing, the beauty of the Blackfoot River and the tragic death of his younger brother, Paul.
