Fish Wildlife and Parks
Welcome to the Montana Fishing Guide. This guide is easy to use and will help you find lots of great places to go fishing. The guide includes angling and recreation information on hundreds of fishable waters, but not all streams, lakes and ponds with good fishing are included so you may still want to talk to your favorite fishing shop (or fishing buddy) for more ideas. And before you go fishing on any Montana waters, you should always check the Montana fishing regulations or boating regulations for additional important information. So, take a few minutes to browse this site and see how easy it is to find information on fish distribution, fishing access sites, maps and much more. You might get hooked!
Montana Fishing Regulations
The FWP Commission may formally adopt changes to these fishing regulations, including emergency regulations/closures. Any changes to these regulations for the 2008 season will appear in an addendum sheet available at all Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) offices and from FWP license agents, on the FWP Web Page, and in subsequent printings of the regulation booklet. Emergency regulations/closures are posted at access sites. Anglers must obtain an addendum sheet or a reprinted booklet to make sure they are in compliance with fishing regulations.
License Permit Applications
A valid fishing license is required for all types of fishing on state waters. To fish in Montana, most anglers need two licenses: a Conservation License and a Fishing License.
