trout was taken on a fly during the 1914 season. This road, by another 

 branch from Idaho, touches upon the southeastern portion of Madison Coun- 

 ty, adjoining the National Park is an excellent elk and deer section. Then 

 the Northern Pacific gives access to the eastern and western portion 

 of the state in the southern counties, while the Great Northern has a 

 branch leading out of Butte north to its main line, thereby connecting 

 with all parts east and west in the northern part of the state, while 

 the Milwaukee line supplies access to all points east and west in the 

 southern hunting and fishing counties. The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific 

 gives access west for about forty miles into Deer Lodge County. On 

 this line trout fishing is had in Silver Bow County from the following 

 stations. From Durant, German Gulch is distant one mile and furnishes 

 excellent sport. Four miles from this station is Beefstraight Gulch 

 with creek of same name, in which are many native trout. Deer may 

 also be found on these streams during the hunting season. 



At Gregson Springs there is no fishing, but hunters from Butte 

 have stopped off here during the hunting season, and within three 

 hours have delivered dressed deer, procured in the foothills south of 

 Gregson, for transportation on the return train to Butte. In Willow 

 Creek, within a mile of Willow Station, many fine baskets of trout are 

 caught. 



From Anaconda, on the line of the Butte, Anaconda & 

 Pacific, are offered many grand opportunities for hunting and fishing 

 at varying distances. For fishing. Mill Creek, three miles; Warm 

 Springs, one mile; Lost Creek, six miles; Foster Creek, nine miles; 

 Silver Lake, a magnificent mountain lake stocked yearly by the Ana- 

 conda Company, fifteen miles; Twin Lakes, nineteen miles; George- 

 town Lake, and Silver Lake both accessible by the B., A. & C. road,
