Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks urges anglers to carefully check the 2002-2003 Fishing Regulations before they take to the water. Montana’s fishing regulations are available at all FWP offices and from license dealers throughout the state. You can also find the fishing regulations on the Internet at: www.fwp.state.mt.us .
