Piccirilli’s photo pilgrimage north
Since 1992, Denver-area resident Tom Piccirilli has been making regular pilgrimages to the Bob Marshall Wilderness in northwest Montana, wading and floating for bull trout up to 15 pounds and West Slope cutthroat trout.
Traveling by horseback or on foot into the largest wilderness in the lower 48 states, Piccirilli often wades or floats the South Fork of the Flathead River, gateway to a land of solitude and grizzly bears.
He’ll give a photo presentation on how to replicate this adventure at 7 p.m. Thursday to the Cherry Creek Anglers Chapter of Trout Unlimited at Gander Mountain Sports, 14000 E. Jewell Ave. Phone 303-841-3612 for information.
