Smith River Permits out Today!

I DREW A PERMIT!!!

I can't believe it I actually drew the permit. Now I have to see if there is going to be any water in the river in August. This was my second choice I never thought I would draw so now we'll see.

This year, 5,704 people applied for a permit to float the Smith, and 915 received the permit they sought, a 16 percent success rate.

Total applications this year were behind last year’s record of 5,820. Of this year’s applicants, 4,785 were Montana residents; 919 were nonresidents.
