Montana Fishing License Information

Fishing Licenses
To legally fish in Montana you must hold a valid fishing license. You need to first purchase the $10 conservation license followed by your fishing license. Non Resident Licenses are sold in 2 day blocks for $15, 10 day blocks for $43.50 or $60 for the season. So if you are fishing for one or two days the cost is $25. If you are fishing for four days you would by a conservation license and 2 2 day blocks which would total $40. If you are fishing for a week you need a 10 day with the conservation license at $70 total. Non Resident children age 1-14 are not required to hold a license when fishing with a licensed adult. Licenses can be purchased online at the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Online Licensing Site. Licenses can also be purchased upon arrival at local flyshops. Our guides generally stop at a shop on the first morning of fishing to pick up flies for the day so adding a license only adds about 10 more minutes.
