Support the regulations and personnel fighting illegal fish introductions.

Montana has some of the best native and wild fisheries in the world. Unfortunately, our fisheries are threatened when people illegally introduce unwanted fish species into our rivers, streams and lakes. Illegal fish introductions cause permanent and irreversible declines in fish, they spread diseases, and they ruin the genetics of local fish populations. Ultimately, illegal introductions increase management costs and reduce fishing opportunity.

As Montana anglers, we support stricter regulations, increased law enforcement, larger fines and penalties, and rewards for those who report illegal fish introductions.

Our Work
This is a program designed to protect Montana’s world-renowned rivers and cold water fisheries from invasive species. The three steps of Clean, Drain, Dry greatly minimizes the risk of spreading Aquatic Invasive Species into new locations.

Our Work
Droughts, fires, and floods associated with climate change will have far-reaching impacts on Montana’s world-class outdoor recreation opportunities, our economy, and our outdoor heritage. MWF fights to protect our wildlife, fisheries, and public lands to mitigate the impacts of these changes and help ensure the future viability of our way of life.
