MONTANA STATE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



there is plenty of food. In addition to the planted foods, farmers are furnishing: 

 duck food in their g^rain fields. Sportsmen find that the ducks are feeding in the 

 grain fields more and more each year. 



The planting of foods will insure a return of the birds year after year. The 

 sportsman who only cares to hunt in the fall appreciates the effort being made 

 by the commission to provide for the future. 



It is thought by the members of the commission that the state can take care 

 of its own foods by transplanting after the next season, although there are foods 

 in other western states that are not found in Montana as yet. 



MONTANA LURES ANGLERS OF NATION 



MONTANA'S fish and game, as well as her natural resources in mineral, 

 timber, oil, and agricultural assets, are attracting hundreds of wealthy 

 sportsmen from all parts of the nation. Many have erected handsome 

 summer cabins and hunting lodges in scenic spots selected after traveling through- 

 out the nation in search of the proper location for their days of relaxation. These 

 commercial captains, interested in fish and game, have likewise become interested 

 in Montana's industrial and commercial welfare. Whether it be along the shores 

 of beautiful Hebgen lake on the upper Madison, Cliff Lake, on the backwaters of the 

 Madison leading to Ye lowstone park, in the Blackfoot country, the Flathead, Lake 



Ronan the Yellowstone, or other turbulent 



trout streams or teeming lakes, these hand- 

 some summer homes ai-e show places. The 

 string of native trout, averaging nearly 

 three pounds, shown in the accompanying 

 photograph were hooked and landed on flies 

 in Hebgen lake by the two Louisiana sports- 

 men appearing in the picture. The big fel- 

 lows were landed in less than two hours.
