Out of Area: , by Andrew Harris: Family fishing fun: 3 stars Last night we arrived at the Stillwater River Outpost ( http://www.stillwaterriveroutpost.com/), a lodge on the Stillwater River near Billings. The lodge is operated by outfitter Mike Hillygus. The food and hospitality here is excellent - our first meal was rack of lamb. After a breakfast of biscuits and gravy, Mike took the whole lot of us on a float down the Yellowstone River. Mike took Katie's mom Mary, our daughter Mackenzie, and his two black labs in one boat. Katie and Madison and I followed him down the river in a raft. Fishing wasn't red hot, but we had plenty of strikes on our dry flies. Mackenzie and Madison fished with their snoopy poles. Madison even reeled in one of my fish! The kids were pretty wiped out by the end of the float. Madison fell asleep in her chair, hands still clutching a box of flies.
