While a pain to get to, it's nice to know that that river and it's entire watershed is forever protected in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. And what wild and strong cutthroats it has!

Oh yeah, living the dream.

Fish: We're not writing any epitaphs yet, and you've gotta figure testing of wells in other areas would turn up similar findings, but it does kinda put a damper on the whole "pristine wilderness" thing. Frankly, I'm inclined to follow Sully's route on this one - make sure word gets out about the hallucinogenic water, the deadly grizzly bears, the muffy-eating wolves and the roving bands of armed, pissed militia, and see if the gears of development don't grind to a halt. Kinda makes me wish we had wolves and grizzlies in Siskiyou County... Taku: You’d have to assume Missoula’s water carries more hallucinagenics, but of course, they’d be organic…

All those dudes with the big bucks building houses along the river must need stiffer rods. Water is going to hell all over the west, Montana is another casualty, or on its way. Should we be thinking Bass Pro tournaments? I am guessing that the Bitteroot is in about the same shape if not worse. You could fish at the junction of the Clark Fork and the Bitteroot, get your Prozac and Ibuprofen from one and Arsenic and heavy metals from the other and by mid summer take a warm bath in either.

Considering the mix of chemicals, it is a shame that Hunter S. Thompson is no longer with us. All we have to do now is carry a Sierra cup with us, take a dip of the Gallatin's finest and spend the rest of the day on the Gonzo fishing trip. Makes the heavy metals on the Clark Fork seem pretty tame. What I wonder is why are all those things showing up in the Bozone area that is supposed to be the conservative stronghold. Makes me wonder what the Missoula aquifer is like.... Yep, have heard these reports. Considering the mix of chemicals, it is a shame that Hunter S. Thompson is no longer with us.
