Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks will host an open house and present information on the Fresno fishery in Havre on Thursday, April 11, starting at 6 p.m., at the Best Western Plus Inn and Suites “on the hill” at 1425 Highway 2 NW in Havre.

Fresno Reservoir ranks as the 5th most popular fishing destination in Northeast Montana and records more than 12,350 angler days annually. Fresno also generates approximately $1 million in angling-related revenue annually.
