Maclean’s Fishing Holes

The Big Blackfoot River has captured many imaginations, in part because of the work of Norman Maclean and his novella A River Runs Through It. A recent piece by Kim Briggeman of The Missoulian features a conversation with founder and executive director of The Big Blackfoot Riverkeeper, Jerry O’Connell, and the elusive work of pinpointing scenes: the sandbars, runs, and bends described by Maclean in his beloved work.
