- 1). Locate a fishing spot that is open to the public or accepts occupants with permission, or for a charge. Depending on the size of the event, you may need to pull permits or have permission from the location to host a fishing derby on the property. Be sure to check with the county or city in charge of the area and follow all regulations and requirements they may ask of you.
- 2). Visit Montana's official state website and read the standard regulations for the district where you would like to hold the derby. The state is divided into three districts: Western, Central and Eastern. The regulations include topics such as fishing seasons, license requirements and fees, and possession limits. Follow the regulations and standards when you are planning your event.
- 3). Invite local retailers or groups to donate prizes for the event. You can also charge an admission to join the derby and offer a cash prize gathered from the admission. To ensure you will have people partaking in the event, require admission be paid in advance.
- 4). Post an ad for the derby in the local papers, hang posters in local shops or pass out fliers for the event to ensure people are aware of the event.
