Smelt numbers aren’t compiled yet, but other forage fish remain fairly stable when co...
Agates are another lower Yellowstone River attraction. Millions of years ago, volcanoes ruled Montana east of the mountains. Powerful eruptions of molten lava and ash covered and destroyed hundreds of miles of forests.

In those unstable geologic...
