Welcoming fishermen to Montana is like rolling out the red carpet for a posse of dedicated, sunburned zen masters. Here, rivers are teeming with fish so plentiful they practically jump into your boat, ensuring tales of the "one that got away" will be rare. As you cast your line against the backdrop of majestic mountains, remember: in Montana, every cast is a step closer to enlightenment, or at least a really great fish fry. So grab your waders and your sense of adventure—Big Sky Country has big fish waiting just for you!
