Fishing in Montana


How to join in on the fun

Whether you're young or old, a long time angler or someone who has only dreamed of pulling in a big one, there is a lifetime of adventure awaiting you in the world of fishing. And there's no better place to fish than under the Big Sky of Montana.

The links and information on this page will give you a great start in becoming the angler you hope to be. It will help you figure out what you need, where you can fish, what you can catch when you get there, what you can do with what you catch and hopefully start you on a path straight to the water.

Most of all, it will give you a start toward having fun. Here are some tips to help you get started, or improve the skills you already have:


Why should I go fishing?

What do I use to catch a fish?

Where do I go fishing?

How do I fish safely?

What kinds of fish can I catch?

What do I do now that I caught a fish?

What else do I need to know?


Pass it on!

Once you have gotten good at fishing yourself, it's your job to teach someone else how to fish.

Invite a friend along who has never caught a fish before. Ask someone else in your family to come out and share the experience that you have learned to enjoy so much.

Fishing can be fun for everyone -- but it's even more fun when you can teach it to somebody else, or simply share it with a friend.
