Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge of Paradise Valley, Montana Named Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Lodge of the Year for 2008

MANCHESTER, VT, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
At their annual Endorsed Operations Rendezvous in Bozeman, Montana, the
Orvis Company announced Hubbard's Yellowstone Lodge as the Orvis Endorsed
Fly Fishing Lodge of the Year for 2008. Hubbard's is located in the
Paradise Valley of western Montana and specializes in fishing Yellowstone
Park and the legendary spring creeks south of Livingston.

Hubbard's opened its doors as a hospitality guest ranch in the early
eighties catering to hunters and anglers from around the world looking to
enjoy the vast recreational resources the state of Montana offered. In a
short time its reputation grew as a premier destination for anglers and in
1986 it was Orvis who approached the ranch to become one of the first
Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Lodges. Since that time, this operation has
continued to offer its guests a world-class experience. Still family
owned and operated, this lodge has created its own story and inspiration
for its many guests over the years.

For twenty years the Orvis Company has been recognizing excellence in fly
fishing lodges fly fishing outfitters, and fly fishing guides through its
Endorsed Lodges Outfitters and Guides program. Each endorsed operation
has its own character, but all share the same high standards: great
service, great fishing and an experienced, professional staff. These
standards of excellence are continually reviewed by the Orvis staff and
evaluated by visiting guests in post-visit critiques sent directly to The
Orvis Company. Orvis endorsed operations cater to ability levels from
beginner to expert.

Founded in 1856, and the recognized world leader in fly fishing gear,
Orvis operates a chain of retail stores in the U.S. and England, runs a
world class fly fishing vacations service, and numerous fly fishing
schools around the country. Orvis donates five percent of pre-tax profits
each year to conservation efforts. You can read more about Orvis on their
