A Fish Tale

Blackhawk on the River homeowner Bill West, our resident fly fishing guru, recently discovered an 18-inch rainbow trout spawning in one of the braided side channels at Blackhawk. Wanting a closer look, he cast into the channel and hooked the trout on the first cast. After a quick view of the trout’s stunning coloring, he released the fish back into the channels for others to enjoy.

Blackhawk on the River has worked in coordination with Trout Unlimited to restore the side channels flowing off of the Payette River and winding throughout the development as they provide ideal spawning grounds for the native fish.
