Bob Jacklin claims he was just lucky in catching a 30-inch-long, 10-pound brown trout out of the Madison River last week. That’s more than a bit of an overstatement.

Jacklin is one of the best fly fishermen in Montana. He’s an expert caster. He’s an expert fly tyer. He’s been guiding on the rivers of southwestern Montana for almost four decades.

In short, he knows the bugs, the fish and all the ways to catch them. The luck part came in his timing of the big catch.

Support McNerney for his run against Pombo
