LAUREL, Mont. — Teams of federal and state workers are fanning out along Montana's Yellowstone River to assess the environmental damage from a ruptured ExxonMobil pipeline. The pipe spewed an estimated 42,000 gallons of crude oil into the river. An official with the Environmental Protection Agency says fast flows are spreading the oil over a large area but could also reduce the damage to wildlife and crops.
HELENA, Mont. — The runoff from a record winter snowpack and spring flooding has created disappointing conditions for Montana's fly fishing industry. Guides and outfitters are reporting high cancellation rates with the state's prize trout streams running higher and dirtier than normal. The manager of the Madison River Fishing Company in Ennis says it's rough now, but he thinks the late season "is going to be really good."
