Upper Missouri River Management Plan – Your comments needed!

The Upper Missouri River Reservoir Fisheries Management Plan guides fisheries management for Canyon Ferry, Hauser, and Holter Reservoirs and the Missouri River from Toston to Canyon Ferry and from Hauser Dam to upper Holter Reservoir. The plan sets fisheries goals to maintain quality multi-species fisheries throughout the system and outlines strategies to effectively meet goals. Development of the plan was completed through rigorous public process and was approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission in December 2019.

Proposal, changes to current fishing regulations, and survey are all due March 15th.

Click here for the proposal –
http://fwp.mt.gov/doingBusiness/insideFwp/commission/meetings/agenda.html?coversheet&topicId=61775951

One item on the agenda is to consider issuing a mandatory kill order for all walleyes in Region 1. At least according to the paper, that includes Noxon.

This is a similar kill order issued for Swan Lake and Upper Thompson Lake when walleyes were discovered. But for all of Western Montana!
