Fishing the Marias River
The Marias River gently meanders for more than 60 miles through the rolling prairie before it spills into Lake Elwell.
It is marked by the soft shale and sandstone bluffs that flank the river.
Both cold water and warm water species can be found here, but it is primarily a warm water fishery near Tiber Reservoir.
Walleye is the most abundant game fish, and every summer, there is a fishing tournament to declare the best fisherman.
Walleye use the upper portion of the Marias for spawning thus the population remains in the river throughout the summer.
Cold-water game fish such as Rainbow Trout and mountain whitefish inhabit this portion of the Marias but are lower in numbers.
Northern pike, yellow perch, and burbot are other fish species that anglers seek.
The non-game fish that inhabit these waters include common carp, Flathead chub, lake chub, emerald shiner, fathead minnow, longnose dace, and Rocky Mountain sculpin.
Sweet Grass Hills
Located in north-central Montana along the Canadian border, the Sweet Grass Hills are an isolated mountain range that invites hiking and wildlife viewing of deer, antelope, elk, fox, golden eagles, and grouse! The Sweet Grass Hills are comprised of three buttes: the West Butte, Middle Butte, and East Butte.
Hardly hills, these towering peaks reach 3,000’ in elevation! The Hills are a result of igneous activity that occurred about 50 million years ago.
