It is that time of year and once again we are looking to our anglers for information on their fishing activities in Montana. Fish, Wildlife, & Parks conducts a monthly survey of a random sample of resident and nonresident license anglers. If you are one of our anglers who is selected to participate, the surveys will arrive by mail. Please complete the survey with your own fishing activity for the specified month. The information you provide helps us to determine fishing pressure on the lakes and streams of Montana.
