Snap Shot of Elk, North Fork of Sun River. 



Red Rock Lake is thirty miles from Monida near the state line. 

 This is the greatest nesting place for ducks, grouse and swan in the 

 State of Montana. Here are located the Montana Hunting club houses, 

 but this does not mean that club members have the exclusive right of 

 shooting on these waters. At the Lower lake accommodations for 

 hunters are furnished at Whitmore's ranch and the upper Red Lake the 

 hunters may find accommodations at either Blair's, Shambow's or Miller's 

 ranch, Shambow's being eight miles from the lower lake, while Blair's 

 ranch is fifteen miles distant. O'Dell Creek at Lakeview, emptying into 

 the Lower Red Rock Lake, and Alaska Creek emptying into the Upper 

 Lake, are good fishing streams for either trout or grayling. Elk 

 Lake, one of the two bodies of water in the state in which are 

 found Mackinac trout, is situated ten miles from Blair's ranch on 

 Upper Red Rock Lake. 



Prom Butte, west on the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee, the first 

 good fishing stream is Race Track Creek in Powell County. This is 

 reached from the station of Race Track on the Northern Pacific, and 

 Sinclair on the Milwaukee, being distant about one mile. At the head 

 of this creek in the Mt. Powell country, is a chain of lakes known as 

 Dempsey Lakes. There are many large trout in these waters and also 

 deer and goats abound in the surrounding country. This section is 

 distant about twenty miles from Race Track Station and Sinclair. Sev- 

 eral small streams empty into the Deer Lodge River between Race 

 Track and Garrison, all containing numbers of native trout. From 

 Garrison west, the roads pass along the Hell Gate River to Missoula. 

 From Drummond on both lines, both north and south, is a fine hunting 

 and fishing country. To the south is the Flint Creek Valley, traversed 

 by a beautiful mountain stream, which heads in Echo Lake and after- 

 wards passes through Georgetown Lake. This gives an opportunity
