Situated on the Montana-Wyoming border, the magnificent Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains are home to more than 1,000 lakes and hundreds of streams. Many of these waters teem with fish while others are barren. Some are easily accessible but others are a challenge to find.

So how does an angler figure out where to go and how to get there? That information and more is here in the newest edition of Fishing the Beartooths which now includes even more fishing destinations - the twenty fishable lakes in the Crazy Mountains.
