Montana Fishing Comments Needed

Montana fisheries officials are seeking comment on a six-year plan, including a public comment meeting in Missoula Tuesday evening.  Input is needed on a statewide draft that would establish goals and direction, habitat protection and improvement, fishing access and opportunities for the next six years. These comment meetings will be held all over the state, but Missoula's is coming up fast, so if you fish, you might want to be involved in the process. Missoula's information sharing will be this Tuesday, September 11th, at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 2 office, 3201 Spurgin Road from 6-8:30 p.m.  You can review the draft plan at   http://fwp.mt.gov/ under "Statewide Fisheries Management Plan." My plan is to actually catch a few more fish than I normally do, so maybe I'd better show up and see what they can do to help a hopeless fisherman like me for the next six years. DB
