this was our first camping trip in quite a while and it turned out rather well. had a great time and look forward to the next one ~ here's how it went: the location was bear paw lake, about 17 miles south of havre montana in be bear paw mountains. i left work at 1630 on friday 19jun and went straight out to the camping spot. the boys had already set up camp and melissa and the little guy were fishing. things were looking pretty good but we needed firewood. the two older boys hadn't brought a saw or hatchet (yikes!) so we went on a firewood run a bit deeper into the mountains of the area. we stopped at a place just outside of the reservation near the creek that had plenty of deadfall and started collecting wood. managed to get a pretty good haul and a good mix of small wood and large wood. could have used more, but this was all good. woke up the next morning around 0530 to the call of a loon on the lake, but dozed off aging for an hour or so before getting up and getting the fire going again. immediately resumed fishing and had a good time until everyone else got up. i had left a line set overnight baited with a nightcrawler in the hopes of catching a brown trout, but no joy. mike had also left one and he caught a rainbow trout - it had gone into an area with cattails and he had to wade out to get it, but it was all good. it was only hooked in the jaw, so he let it go. here are some pix: |

Nice photos. How much of that area is on the reservation? How much is a tribal fishing permit? I finally got out on the river today. It was real slow at first but the last hour they hit fast and furious right as a storm was blowing in. I wonder if that was coincidence? Nothing real big but the standard size rainbows are pretty decent fighters on the river. The water is still cold for this time of year. |

rob - beaver creek park sits up against the rez but doesn't enter it. i can't remember how much a tribal permit is, but i remember thinking that they weren't very expensive at all. the lake in the phtos above is managed by the fwp and there's a 7$/night fee for camping - no charge for day use. pretty reasonable. looking like some good times on the missouri there! |
