Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks released the proposed 2027–2030 Statewide Fisheries Management Plan and associated environmental assessment (EA) for public review and comment. FWP will host a meeting at the Billings Public Library Community Room (510 N. Broadway) on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m. to discuss updates to the plan.
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.
Regular updates to the plan allow FWP staff 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.
