Fish Butte's Blacktail Creek

Butte's Blacktail Creek flows out of the Highlands Mountains and right through town.  This little, urban gem is often overlooked by fly anglers.  Blacktail has tons of access right of the city trail system and has a great population of brook trout.

There are some signs of old Butte along the banks.  These old bottles were fun to sift through.

Blacktail is not your average Montana wilderness stream but it is a great option for a quicky after work or a good excuse to bring a rod when you go on that walk with your significant other or child.

While some sections go through beautiful parks and ranch lands, other sections are very urban.
