Walleyes Unlimited of Montana (WUM) is the largest sport fishing organization in the state, with more than 4,000 members since its founding in 1983. The organization works to promote and protect warm water fishing in Montana by supporting fish hatcheries, forage fish programs, conservation efforts, and educational initiatives for anglers. WUM also plays a key role in Montana’s walleye tournament community, requiring membership for anglers who wish to compete for prize money in sanctioned events, though tournaments themselves are run by independent boards. As a nonprofit organization, WUM is dedicated to conserving warm water fish populations, promoting ethical sportsmanship, educating the public and youth about responsible fishing and wildlife stewardship, and fostering strong relationships between anglers, landowners, and local communities while supporting outdoor recreation across the state.
