The way the waters are geographically located, like me, these two will wind up being your two "go to" waters. When you get here and look at them on the map you'll see there's a lot of water and off shoots to these to bodies of water.
Priest you have to learn that water well before blasting wide open in your boat. Old Hick is more forgiving but the fishing is tough pretty much year round. Now some of those non bass (and even bass really) fish you like to fish for will congregate in the warm water discharge from the steam plant in Gallatin which is like 5 miles north of me during what few cold months we have.
