Be aware of changing and dangerous water conditions
HELENA – Escape the summer heat and enjoy a cool adventure over Father’s Day weekend, when everyone in Montana can fish for free.
While anyone can fish without a license on June 17-18, all other fishing rules and regulations are in effect and must be followed.
All would-be anglers are encouraged to be aware of boating and water safety on Montana’s rivers and streams. With recent heavy rains and snow runoff, many of Montana’s rivers and streams are swollen and dangerous.

Additionally, those with watercraft of any kind must remember to stop at all AIS inspection stations.
