Biography Jim Goetz is a lawyer and a fisherman who was born and raised in Montana. He, along with his firm, were the people that defended high water mark and streamside access in the state of Montana. He also gave a lot of stories about when he was younger growing up here in Montana as well as some of the ventures that him and his dad went on. He tells many funny stories of creeks when he was younger and talks about some of the more recent ventures he has gone on with his friends, most of whom are local legends. He also voices his opinion on how accessible fishing should be and shares that he disagrees with having to pay to fish certain rivers and streams. He shares that fees to fish have a place and he thinks that maybe Paradise Valley is that place but many people don’t have that much money to spend so fees should be isolated if existent.
