For the 5th year in a row, anyone and everyone in Montana can fish for free (no state fishing license required) over the Father’s Day weekend.

Even the Governor (Steve Bullock) spoke out in recognition of the weekend –

“While many Montana anglers want to keep their favorite fishing hole a secret, one thing that isn’t a secret is that our state is home to some of the best rivers, lakes, and streams for fishing in the world,” said Gov. Steve Bullock . “I encourage Montanans to take advantage of this free fishing weekend, and maybe even show off their secret fishing spot to a child or grandchild.”

Bullock said there’s no better way to enjoy Montana than to plan for a day of fishing with friends and family.

And speaking of good Father’s Day vibes, both She Who Must Be Obeyed (birthday) and I had the good fortune to be gifted prints from Mimi Matsuda, one of our favorite Bozeman artists.

The quick snap below doesn’t do it justice; check out more of Mimi’s work via the link above and we’ll keep pestering her for an interview…
