| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2007 BIGHORN RIVER EARNS TOP RATING It wasn’t exactly a well-kept secret before, but now the world knows that the Bighorn River in Eastern Montana is one of the best fishing spots you’ll find anywhere in America. The June 2007 edition of Field and Stream has named the Bighorn as one of the “150 Best Summer Fishing Spots.” Says Kirk Deeter, Western Editor for Field and Stream Magazine, “The Bighorn below Yellowtail Dam in Fort Smith is buzzing with insect hatches, and catching trophy rainbows and browns on dry flies is a real possibility.” “What more can an angler ask,” says Jim Schaefer, Executive Director of Custer Country, the tourism region in southeast Montana that includes Bighorn Canyon and Yellowtail Dam. “Great fishing, endless skies and a breath-taking view of the Bighorn and Pryor Mountains are all part of the package,” Schaefer says Trophy trout have always been a hallmark of the Bighorn, but with recent rains and insect hatches, the fishing should be even better than ever for the next few weeks. Whether you hire a guide or strike out on your own, bring your canoe, drift boat or a good pair of waders and take advantage of one of Mother Nature’s best fishing opportunities in recent years. See you on the river.
