Montana is proud of its trout. With the blackspotted cutthroat trout designated as the state fish, and more than six other kinds of trout swimming through the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of the fish around here. However, there are many other notable species across Montana that are sought after by anglers, whether for their size, elusiveness or rarity. This begs the question, what is the Montana fish? From pike to paddlefish, landing one of these species could prove to be your best catch yet.
