"Beautiful view/Peaceful atmosphere. The solitude and feeling of privacy was exceptional as was the fishing itself... Needless to say, the accommodations were marvelous. They far exceed what the expected. It was a most enjoyable setting in which to spend seven days. The furnishings, etc., in the unit were perfect... The whole atmosphere at Sheridan and the people in the town certainly added to the experience. I can honestly say that it was the best fishing trip I have ever been on because of the style of fishing as well as the water... I suppose the best endorsement is the enclosed check... for next year... Finally, I want to thank you again for the wonderful week in Sheridan and reiterate how much I enjoyed the entire experience. I cannot wait until next year when I return." Guy C. Fraker, IL

The Angling Report: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Report from H.D. Adams, "...a friend and I had an excellent week of catching fat, strong fish. There was no crowding, no beer cans and no multiple foot prints. Manager Reid Rosenthal coordinates the fishing at several ranches in the area. He rotates daily beats so the fish in each section get a rest. There was lots of non-fishing stuff to do also. For example, horses are available on one of the huge ranches managed by Rosenthal’s company. Plus, we hiked all over and dined in some superb restaurants."

Trout Unlimited - Currents: "Assault on Montana," by Jack Hill: "...The next day Reid directed us to the upper section of the Beaverhead below the dam. He told us of a pool he secretly named the "Bay of Pigs". "Hogs up to 20 inches and bigger", he promised - "and they’re taking PMD’s. If they want a size 18 they won’t take a 16 and if they want a Sulphur or Light Cahill those are the only flies they’ll take.", he said. He was true to his word."
