Hook, Line, and Sinker: The Ninepipes Kid’s Fishing Day is Back!
Forget the video games and the endless scrolling—it’s time to trade the touchscreen for a tackle box. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is hosting the annual Ninepipes Kid’s Fishing Day, and let’s just say, things are about to get reel.
Whether your kid is a seasoned pro at casting or currently thinks a “spinner” is just a fidget toy, this event is the perfect excuse to get some fresh Montana air and maybe even catch dinner (or at least a good story).

Why This Event is a “Keeper”
We know what you’re thinking: “Do I really want to untangle fishing line for six hours?” The answer is yes, and here’s why this day is a total catch:
- No Red Tape: All state and tribal licensing requirements are waived during the event. It’s free-flowing fun without the paperwork.
- No Homework (Registration): Just show up! No pre-registration is required. We like to keep things as fluid as the water.
- Gear on Loan: While you should bring your own gear if you have it, there is a limited supply of poles and tackle available for those just testing the waters.
- Community Vibes: Supported by local legends like Westland Seed, this is a true community day designed to get the next generation hooked on the great outdoors.
Pro-Tips for a Fin-tastic Day
- Pack the Snacks: Fishing is hungry work. Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep the “hangry” fish at bay.
- Dress for Success: Montana weather likes to keep us guessing. Layers are your best friend.
- Patience is a Virtue: Sometimes the fish are biting, and sometimes they’re just judging your bait choice. Enjoy the view either way!
