Montana's reputation as having the best trout fishing in America is well deserved. Brown, rainbow,
brook, cutthroat and grayling are the fish that anglers come from all over the world to fish. The state
has some of the most diverse stream, river, and lake systems in the country. The state is also noted for a diverse
group of environmental regulations.

Many of Montana streams are catch and release fishing. All anglers whether spin, bait or fly are
encouraged to practice catch and release fishing. The state enjoys some of the best wild populations of trout
in the country. It should be noted that many of Montana streams depend upon the snow pack. In the last
number of years drought has hurt some of the fishing in the state. However, 2010 so far looks like a good year for
water in the West.
