Thanks to our good friend John Bolton, both Jack and I were on the Clark Fork River with him in late September. Here is a photo log of our day. Great fish, lunch, scenery, weather and friends. A long and happy list to be thankful for.
Below is a slideshow (wait for it to load) of all the images, click on it to go to our website for more photos.

Clay is friends with and served in the Marine Corp with our good friend Jim Shockley. Bernice and Clay fished four days with Jack, some on the Bitterroot River and some on the Clark Fork. Great weather and pretty darn good fishing. Thank you Clay for sending the photos.

Hi Jack. We had a wonderful time today. We learned much and saw some beautiful sights! We hope to come again soon. Thank you for your donation. It went a long way to helping some young kids get exposed to a new sport and learn honor, respect and honesty along the the way. We look forward to seeing the pictures.
Thanks again, Greg and Mindy

Photo album dedicated to our good friend Terrill (Terry) Nobles, Corvallis, Montana – With out any doubt, Wapiti Waters’ (Jack Mauer) favorite friend, partner, client, and man on earth. This will never change, as sadly there will never be another man like Terry.
Terry is 93 and 1/2 years old this December (2013) and we felt compelled to start an album dedicated to Terry. As I find pictures earlier than 2005, I will scan them and add them. Also dedicated to J Craig Nobles, Lynn Dornfeld, Tori Nobles-Stephens, and Buddy Nobles, Terry’s children.
Thanks for coming up to fish with Jack at the Casting for Recovery One Cast for Hope event. He had a very fun day with you two!
