July is a great month for summer fun. In addition to the festivities of July 4th, there are lots of summertime activities to engage in. How about spending some time on one of our rivers, lakes or reservoirs? Whether you’re a fisherman, a boater or a floater, you’ll find activities to suit your tastes.
The Yellowstone River is known for its large variety of fish species, while the Bighorn is known mostly for the lunker trout that are pulled out of it each year. In both cases, it is usually better to cast your line in the early morning or late evening to avoid the July heat. These two rivers are best navigated with smaller boats or with some sort of raft if just being out on the river is what you prefer.
For those of you who want to ski or go “tubing,” I suggest either Bighorn Reservoir near Fort Smith or Tongue River Reservoir State Park just north of Decker. These two facilities have excellent boat landing facilities and will accommodate larger horsepower boats. Of course the fishing is great in both places, as well.
For more information, go to www.CusterCountry.com, click on “Adventures” at the top of the page, then choose either “Fishing” or “Boating” from the menu. You’ll find links to each of the four summer fun sites above.
Get out there and get wet! And don’t forget boating safety. We want you back!
