Experience some of Montana’s best at the Tiber Dam-Lake Elwell marina! Fishing the Marias River The Marias River gently meanders for more than 60 miles through the rolling prairie before it spills into Lake Elwell. It is marked by the soft shale and sandstone bluffs that flank the river. Both cold water and warm water species can be found here, but it is primarily a warm water fishery near Tiber Reservoir. Walleye is the most abundant game fish, and every summer, there is a fishing tournament to declare the best fisherman. Walleye use the upper portion of the Marias for spawning thus the population remains in the river throughout the summer. Cold-water game fish such as Rainbow Trout and mountain whitefish inhabit this portion of the Marias but are lower in numbers. Northern pike, yellow perch, and burbot are other fish species that anglers seek. The non-game fish that inhabit these waters include common carp, Flathead chub, lake chub, emerald shiner, fathead minnow, longnose dace, and Rocky Mountain sculpin. Sweet Grass Hills Located in north-central Montana along the Canadian border, the Sweet Grass Hills are an isolated mountain range that invites hiking and wildlife viewing of deer, antelope, elk, fox, golden eagles, and grouse! The Sweet Grass Hills are comprised of three buttes: the West Butte, Middle Butte, and East Butte. Hardly hills, these towering peaks reach 3,000’ in elevation! The Hills are a result of igneous activity that occurred about 50 million years ago. Take the Sweet Grass Hills Backcountry Drive for 66 miles of remote and unique scenery. Fishing and Hunting Some of the most prime bow hunting in the northwest is located just outside Shelby’s back door. For deer hunting at its finest, the Marias River bottom offers some of the best white-tailed hunting in the state. Located only seven miles south of Shelby, several ranked Pope and Young white-tail have been taken. Newly acquired Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks property has established the Marias River State Park which will host limited-access deer hunting this fall. Just 45 minutes of driving north will take you to the area of the Sweet Grass Hills. Pope and Young ranked white-tail have been taken from the Hills. The Sweet Grass Hills are also home to a tremendous herd of elk which are among the ultimate goals of any archer. Both the Sweet Grass Hills and the Marias River also harbor huge record book mule deer. The antelope and pronghorn are everywhere around Toole County and certainly offer a challenge to the open plains hunting style needed to bag these swift-moving animals. Shelby is located only 60 miles east of the slopes of the Rockies, so hunting in the mountains is by no means to be ruled out. The Marias Valley Archers have developed a natural shooting range for the enjoyment of all shooters in the Shelby community. The Marias Valley Archers boasts a membership of nearly 50 including shooters and their families. The group offers seasonal leagues as well as annual competitions. The range is an invaluable resource to the 4-H Shooting Sports Program and the Bowhunter Safety Program. During winter months the group meets weekly to shoot both competitively and for fun at the Shooting Sports Arena at the Marias Fairgrounds.
