Welcome to fishing in Montana! This is the first in a (hopefully long) list of articles focusing on fishing in Montana. I have been fishing in Montana for over 15 years and usually end up fishing every other day when the weather permits.

Alas, there is little fishing going on this time of year in Montana, unless you don't mind the cold. I personally do not feel bad staying home next to the fire in December.

It is not yet cold enough for ice fishing to be an option, so any type of lake fishing is probably out. You could hit the rivers in search of whitefish if that is you bag, though. Me, I'm just going to sit here by the fire and clean out my tackle box. Until next time, friends.
