Montana Fishing Vacation

When you think of a state to go fishing in, there are few places
in the country that conjure up more beautiful pictures in a
persons mind than the great state of Montana. Montana is full of
open spaces, very few people, and a lot of fish....especially
trout. The state of Montana is home to many species of fish, but
the grand daddy of all of them has to be the trout. There have
been movies made and many books written about the trout fishing
in the state of Montana. The reason for this has to be the miles
and miles of clear clean streams and rivers flowing through the
state. A person couldn't throw a dead cat in the state of
Montana, and not have it land near a river or stream. And that
river or stream will, more than likely, contain trout.
Therefore many, many anglers look to the state of Montana for a
fishing vacation, and not only a fishing vacation, but a trout
fishing vacation. There are places that are better known than
others, but the point is there are a lot of trout in Montana. I
grew up in Pennsylvania and caught a lot of trout in PA's rivers
and streams, but when I started trout fishing in Montana it was
an eye opening experience. The size and quality of trout in
Montana is quite impressive. For a trout angler, Montana is
literally heaven on earth.
All types of fishing are available in Montana, but because of
the movies, most people think of fly fishing (or flea flicking
as my mentor referred to it). Flea flicking is allowed in all
rivers and streams in Montana, but bait and spin fishing are
also allowed in most of them also. If you're on vacation, you
may want to check the individual regulations, because the flea
flickers have a few streams locked down. I suppose this is
looked upon as a completely fair thing to do if you happen to be
a flea flicker, but I digress. The point is that all types of
fishing can be done in most of the fishing area's in
Montana.
Montana fishing vacations are very popular and with a little
research on the internet you'll be good to go. You can find a
guide and a great place to fish or go it alone, and still catch
a ton of trout. One thing to keep in mind is that many of
Montana's rivers are quite large, and anglers float these rivers
in drift boats. Wading and fishing these rivers is tough without
the help of a boat, because of their size. Again, a little
research will answer any questions that you might have as to the
size of a particular river.
The bottom line is that the state of Montana is a wonderful
place to spend a fishing vacation. The natural beauty of the
state is hard to match, and the fishing isn't too bad either.
The trout fishing truly is as good as I've seen anywhere in the
entire United States, and you add in the closeness to nature and
the combination is hard to beat.
