With Kayaks we can stop anywhere on the river. This picture was taken on a large Island with rock and gravel beaches. The agates are found everywhere there is gravel and more often in places that few people have already hunted. You can tell you have a good spot when the agates are shinning up at you just as obvious as can be. The third picture shows this beautifully shaped agate with red bands up close. The red is iron which is coloring the agate along the banding layers. We like to kayak in the fall when the weather is a little cooler. The temperature can get very hot in Montana mid summer. In the fall there are no bugs which makes for pleasant agate hunting. The other advantage of fall agate hunting is; the water level has dropped to it's lowest point and more gravel and rock bars are exposed.
