2011 STATEWIDE FISHING REGULATIONS - FINAL PUBLIC COMMENT
You must
have your comments sent prior to September 6th
At the October FWP Commission meeting, the commissioners will adopt
final statewide fishing regulations that go into effect March 1, 2011.
It is highly important that all the chapters contact their members and
ask that they send their comment prior to September 6th. If you do not
have internet access, mail your comment to: Montana Fish, Wildlife &
Parks – c/o Don Skaar, Fish Management Section Supervisor – 1420 East
Sixth Avenue – Helena, MT 59601
FWP has proposed to reduce the walleye limit in Canyon Ferry Reservoir
to 10 daily, only 4 fish over 16" and only one of those over 28" with
possession limit being twice the daily limit. This was Alternative #2 in
the draft management plan released earlier this year, and the one that
Walleyes Unlimited of Montana supported. FWP proposes to increase the
limits in Hauser and Holter. The proposed regulation changes can be
viewed on the following FWP website link:
http://fwpiis.mt.gov/content/getItem.aspx?id=45651 The proposed
changes reflect public comment received over the past year and a half,
specifically regarding Canyon Ferry Reservoir, and address the goals in
the 2010-2011 management plan for the reservoirs. This is what we have
strived to get passed for Canyon Ferry Reservoir and was the consensus
of the citizen workgroup.
Public comment is being accepted on the proposed regulation changes
until September 6th. Please submit your comment one final time. We are
at the end of this long process to try to save the walleye fishery in
Canyon Ferry. Public comment so far has been supportive. We don't want
the proposed regulation changes to be voted down by the commissioners
due to failing to receive the desired public input when it counts the
most.
Comments can be e-mailed to the following address:
fwpfsh@mt.gov and
write the following text in the subject box: 2011 Proposed Fishing
Regulations. Please keep your comment simple and clear such as; “I
support the FWP proposed fishing regulation changes to the Canyon Ferry,
Hauser and Holter reservoir systems.”
You are encouraged to review all proposed statewide regulations and
comment on them but please do so by submitting another comment separate
from your Canyon Ferry comment. One other controversial change being
proposed (this proposal was submitted by Trout Unlimited, not FWP) is to
set “no limit on walleye in the Missouri River from the base of Holter
Dam to Black Eagle Dam” in Great Falls which encompasses about 60 miles
of the river. FWP data confirms “minimal to no impact” from walleye to
this trout fishery to justify this change; therefore, because this
dramatic change is not biologically supported, it is unreasonable and
unacceptable.
