Review Process For Fishing Regulations To Begin
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks will host public meetings in each region to gather input for the 2025-26 fishing regulations.
Fishing regulations are now under a process like hunting regulations, going through a comprehensive public review every two years. Fishing regulations are printed during odd numbered years. FWP’s proposed regulation changes will be posted online later this month. FWP will also accept and review fishing regulations changes proposed by the public during the initial review time period.
Staff will use this public input to refine regulation proposals to the Fish and Wildlife Commission. The meeting schedule is as follows: Region 1: March 19, 6 p.m., Kalispell, 490 North Meridian Road Region 2: April 10, 6:30 p.m., Missoula, 201 Spurgin Road Region 3: March 28, 6 p.m., Bozeman, 1400 South 19th St.
