Fishing the Missouri River.
May 21, the 2005 general fishing season opener, is a special day for thousands of anglers itching to fish Montana’s rivers and streams. The general fishing season traditionally opens on the third Saturday of May, while fishing on the state’s lakes and reservoirs is generally open year round. To prepare for the 2005 fishing season, pick up the state fishing regulations at FWP offices or license providers or go to the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks web site, 2005 Fishing Regulations web page.
