Woods Bay author’s book delves into secrets of Flathead Lake
When Butch Larcombe was a kid, he spent his summers out on Flathead Lake, fishing. A fourth-generation Montanan raised in Malta, along the hi-line, Larcombe found escape from the heat and wind when he visited his grandparents in Lakeside. He also found mysteries hidden in the deep, cold waters.
“I used to spend a lot of time on the lake fishing with my grandfather and my dad, and I would hear little snippets of stories, some of which I kind of fleshed out in [‘Historic Tales of Flathead Lake’],” Larcombe said.
Larcombe’s new book, “Historic Tales of Flathead Lake,” is a collection of these stories; including the Flathead Lake monster, the blowing up of Medicine Rock, the journey of the grizzly bear that swam the lake, Wild Horse Island’s history and more.
