Blackfoot Angler


Nestled at the end of the historical Trading Post, in what use to be home to Ovando's blacksmith you'll find the "Best little fly shop on the Blackfoot River", the Blackfoot Angler & Supplies. Carrying the largest fly selection from Great Falls and Helena to Missoula, the Blackfoot Angler is a must see stop for every fly fisherman experiencing the magic of the Blackfoot River area.

Owners Travis Thurmond and Kathy Schoendoerfer continue to expand the little shop which has sustained its old western atmosphere, offering Orvis, Simms, and Redington and Fly Logic rods and reels; Tibor reels can be ordered. Hunting and fishing licenses and everything ever thought of by fly fisherman is available at the Blackfoot Angler, from magnifying glasses to lip balm, from nippers to waders. They offer many fly patterns, most of which are specific for the Big Blackfoot.

Travis is an accomplished guide in the region, working for Paul Roos Outfitters. His patience and attention has made him a popular teacher. Advanced reservations are required.

But the Blackfoot Angler is not just for fly fishermen! Area recreationists can also find the Stearn's inflatable kayaks, which provide outstanding river fun, along with inner tubes and air mattresses. Campers in need of last minute purchases will find coffee pots to table cloths, tarps to flashlights. And who can go home without a gift to remind them of their fabulous times in the Blackfoot River Valley. Ceramic mugs, dinner ware and etched glasses with the fishing and wildlife theme are available as are books, lamps, framed pictures, and Kathy's popular cranberry and huckleberry chutneys and BBQ sauce.


The Blackfoot Angler is proud to provide a little bit of something for everyone. Stop by while visiting Ovando. Get the latest fishing tips from Travis. A warm greeting from Kathy, and a overwhelmingly enthusiastic welcome from Otis, the Basset Hound watch dog.
