| Tongue River on the Yellowstone River |
This river may be one of the most overlooked floatable rivers in Montana. Easy paddling, great fishing, fine scenery and quiet solitude make this a great float. The first ten miles below the dam flow through a canyon and are the most scenic. Fish for smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, sauger, catfish and trout.
