Bull Lake at the head of Lake Creek, affords unsurpassed fishing. The Stillwater and Whitefish Rivers flowing into the Flathead River within a mile and a half of Kalispell are both famous fishing streams. Eighteen miles southwest of Kalispell is Echo Lake, which furnishes the only exclusive black bass fishing in Montana. This lake was stocked by the U. S. government hatchery about sixteen years ago. In these wondrous waters this variety of game fish nas thrived and increased beyond all expectations. Today there are millions in the lake, some having attained enormous sizes—six to seven pounds not being an unusual weight. Swan River, heading in Missoula County, flowing north between the Swan and Mission Ranges into Swan Lake and thence into Flat- head Lake, is one of the virgin hunting sections of the northwest. Here thousands of white tail deer roam the trackless forests. Above Swan Lake there is no wagon road into this hunter's paradise and all travel is by saddle and pack horse. The same may be stated of the South Fork of the Flathead which parallels the Swan River on the east side of the Swan Range, emptying into the main stream four miles east of Columbia Falls. On the upper waters of this stream, elk, deer, goats and sheep abound. The upper portions of the Swan and South Fork of the Flathead Rivers may also be reached from Drummond on the main line of the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee lines, thence stage to Ovando, where horses and pack outfits are supplied for hunters.
