Description
Fancy Tail Trout are among the rarest of all the mystic trout in Montana. You have to take a trail out to the wilderness but you have to begin the hike at 3am to reach the spot at the perfect moment. 10:05am...not 10:06 or 10:04...10:05am!
One minute each day the Fancy Tails come out to feed in Never Know Creek. It feeds Notellum Lake just off Faraway Ridge.
The only person known to have hooked a Fancy Tail was Robert Talking Wind. They say Robert came from a long line of fishermen in the Chinook tribe on the coast. Though he never showed anyone the fish, he was able to describe it and went into great detail as to how he caught it which could fill a novel all in its own.
The next Robert was lost to the wilderness searching for the infamous Sasquatch. Some say Robert found them and joined the clan. That is all we know about the man who is the only known fisherman to catch a Fancy Tail.
They are out there in the lake and creek, this we know.
