Lake and Calahan Creeks entering the Kootenai River within one 

 mile of the town of Troy, are both line trout streams. Bull Lake at 

 the head of Lake Creek, affords unsurpassed fishing. 



The Stillwater and Whitefish Rivers flowing into the Flathead 

 River within a mile and a half of Kalispell are both famous fishing 

 streams. Eighteen miles southwest of Kalispell is Echo Lake, which 

 furnishes the only exclusive black bass fishing in Montana. This lake 

 was stocked by the U. S. government hatchery about sixteen years ago. 

 In these wondrous waters this variety of game fish nas thrived and 

 increased beyond all expectations. Today there are millions in the 

 lake, some having attained enormous sizes — six to seven pounds not 

 being an unusual weight. 



Swan River, heading in Missoula County, flowing north between 

 the Swan and Mission Ranges into Swan Lake and thence into Flat- 

 head Lake, is one of the virgin hunting sections of the northwest. Here 

 thousands of white tail deer roam the trackless forests. Above Swan 

 Lake there is no wagon road into this hunter's paradise and all travel 

 is by saddle and pack horse. The same may be stated of the South 

 Fork of the Flathead which parallels the Swan River on the east side 

 of the Swan Range, emptying into the main stream four miles east 

 of Columbia Falls. On the upper waters of this stream, elk, deer, goats 

 and sheep abound. The upper portions of the Swan and South Fork 

 of the Flathead Rivers may also be reached from Drummond on the 

 main line of the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee lines, thence stage 

 to Ovando, where horses and pack outfits are supplied for hunters. 

 This entire section is a network of lakes and streams which teem in 

 trout of all varieties.
