Find here information and links you will need for purchasing your Montana Fishing License prior to participating in a fishing adventure or trip with Adventure Missoula. Anyone age 12 or older will need a license BEFORE heading out on your trip. It is easy to do it electronically and you can print a copy to have on hand at your hotel or from home before leaving! Last case scenario, have it on your phone to show a ranger if needed. Many of our trips meet you at our river site or we schedule a pick up. The fishing shop doesn’t have the ability to process fishing licenses nor do we want to spend precious time doing that pre-trip.
It is mandatory to have a copy of this license on your person. You are responsible for printing and carrying your license at all times when hunting, fishing, or recreating on state lands. If you are stopped by authorities and cannot provide sufficient licensure, you may be penalized with fines. So ensure that you are properly licensed before heading out to fish.
Identify which Fishing District you will be fishing (Western, Central, or Eastern).
Read the Standard Regulations that apply to all waters in that District.
Look up the specific water you will be fishing to see if it is listed as an Exception to the Standard Regulations.
If that is identified in the Exceptions, these regulations take the place of the Standard Regulations (e.g., season, daily limits, etc.).
If not listed in the Exceptions, the District Standard Regulations apply.
