He talks extensively about fisheries in Elk Creek and kids of fish in the area such as bull trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, and pike. Huston describes areas where he fished such as Seeley Lake, Condon Creek, and Swan River, and gives his opinions on the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Park’s management of the fish in the area.
