Bozeman, Montana found itself in fourth place out of the top 20 fishing towns in the United Stataes based on a Field and Stream Magazine report. A great aspect of Montana fishing is the State's 1985 Stream Access Law, which allows everyone in Montana recreational access to rivers and streams up to the ordinary high-water mark, and this regardless of streambed ownership. For the non-resident a license is not costly: purchase both a Conservation License for $10 plus a Montana Fishing License for $15 and get 2 consecutive days of fishing, or for $43.50 you get 10 consecutive days, or for just $60 you may fish for the whole season. It's worth a visit...
