Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has released the proposed 2027–2030 Statewide Fisheries Management Plan and associated environmental assessment (EA) for public review and comment.
FWP sta_ are holding meetings across the state to discuss the updates to the plan. The meeting for Region 6 is from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 26, at the Glasgow FWP Headquarters conference room at 1 Airport Road.
Sta_ will answer questions about the plan, especially as it pertains to Region 6 water bodies, and will also address other fish-related topics or concerns. Other meeting times and locations can be found on www.fwp.mt.gov.
The plan, which is updated every four years, identifies statewide fisheries-management goals, priorities and strategies intended to sustain and enhance Montana’s fisheries and angling opportunities. The plan was first implemented in 2013 and was last updated in 2023.
The updated plan allows FWP sta_ to address emerging management priorities, incorporate new population- trend data and other information, revise conservation strategies as needed and respond to changing fish populations and habitat conditions. Comments on the EA are due by Sept. 16.
