Atlantic Salmon
Bozeman, Montana, is famous for its blue-ribbon trout streams like the Gallatin and Madison Rivers. However, if you're hoping to catch Atlantic Salmon near Bozeman, you're out of luck. These fish simply aren't present in Montana's freshwater systems. Atlantic Salmon are native to the Atlantic Ocean and require access to it to complete their life cycle. Montana's rivers are landlocked, preventing their migration. Anglers interested in catching Atlantic Salmon will need to look to regions along the Atlantic coast.
