Fishing guides in Montana.
Montana is drift-boat country. The Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Missouri, Big Hole and Bighorn all fish from spring runoff through the October streamer push, and most guides row from March into November. Everyone in the boat needs a Montana fishing license, and outfitters here are state-licensed.
