there are a bunch of them on the Blackfeet lands .... you need a tribal

I've never been there, so I can't suggest a specific lake .... I bet a
Google would turn up lots of links ...

here is the only one I have bookmarked ... the tribal fish and game dept

I have fished and hunted on several different tribal lands in the west
....
obey the letter of the tribal laws and you will find it a pleasant
experience


I live about 3 hrs from there near Kalispell
Whan are you going?

I'll be picking up my wife in Great Falls on June 17th ( I think it is ) and
then heading slowly up and over to see Glacier Park. Then up into Canada
for Banff and Jasper. Mainly, I'll be playing tourist as my wife has
never seen that part of the country and this part of the summer is for her.

But, I'll fish a day or two when in the Blackfeet area. And then I come
back to Great Falls to fly her home about July 1st and could probably be
talked into another day or two at the lakes or the Missouri or both at that
time, before I head back to the HFork.

Seems the period of June 15th to July 15th is prime nearly everywhere and
it's hard to choose between old true loves and new flirtations when both
beckon, tempt and tease.

I applied for a passport months ago and my wife has plane tickets to Great
Falls purchased, all with the idea of visiting Alberta late in June. Hope
they get the damn passport to me in time. If not I may spend more time in
the Glacier area than planned :-( I guess the number of passport
applications has soared with the new travel regs.


Thanks for sharing your day.

You don't need a passport (yet) to drive across the border. That rule
comes into effect in 2008. You only need a passport for air travel right
now.

Duck lake is one of them. There is a book about fishing the blackfoot
reservation. I forget the name, but will look it up if you like.

If you find that you are anywhere near Kalispell on the 15, 16th or after

I can also turn you on to a wonderful private lake full of large rainbows

The book is "Flyfishing the blackfeet country" by Robert F. Fairchild.
Mountain Front Publishing. isbn 0-9636681. It's pretty good, and it has
a map that shows Duck Lake on the reservation, about 29 miles north of
Browning.

I think maybe I asked this stuff a couple years ago and then my plans
changed

I have a memory of not being able to take Bear Spray into Canada, or maybe
it was from there back into the U.S. Do you know if this is true? My
most scary bear moment of my life was at Mystic Lake in Banff, too many
years ago ... I have a fresh can of bear spray and plan to hike some, will I
have to leave it in the U.S., buy a new one and then give it away?

It depends on the border droid. It is *not* illegal to take bear
spray into Canada but you might have a hard time convincing the
idiots at the border of that. The technicality is it has to be
clearly labelled *BEAR* spray and not personal defense pepper
spray. Most of the morons on the Canuckistan side of the border
are unaware of this and will confiscate any and all pepper spray.
They'll either mail it to you in the states at your expense or
hold it for you at the border until you come back. There's no
problem bringing bear spray back into the states.

Anymore we just lie when asked if we have bear spray because we
know it's not illegal and you can never be sure about the border
droids.
