Rims & Creek WATER: Fish Creek flows for about three miles through the property. It flows year long, but did pool in the most severe drought. There are two large reservoirs, but they usually do not hold water under the present conditions. The well at the barn is fifteen feet with four feet of water. A pump supplies a frost-free dinking fountain for livestock. A second well supplies the cabin, a hydrant on a knoll just above the headquarters, and another hydrant about half a mile north.. There is a small bridge over Fish Creek. The previous owner did drive his pickup across the bridge. ATVs use it now. DEAD MAN BASIN RESERVOIR: About eight miles northwest of the property is this large reservoir fed by the Mussellshell River. It is stocked with tiger muskie and rainbow trout. The tiger muskie is a sterile cross between the northern pike and the muskellunge. Individuals over 20 pounds have been caught. The reservoir is also excellent for rainbow trout.
