Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on tentative changes to Montana’s fishing regulations for the 2020 season. The Fish and Wildlife Commission will review the tentative regulations for public comment on August 15.
Tentative Changes for Eastern Montana Fishing Regulations include:
• Increased Sauger daily & possession limit on the Yellowstone River, upstream of Forsyth, from one daily and two in possession to two daily and four in possession.
• Reorganize paddlefish regulations for simplicity, clarity and comprehension.
• Change definition of “snagging” to eliminate snagging paddlefish while trolling from a boat.
• Eliminate Largemouth Bass length limit at Hollecker Pond in Glendive.
Anglers are invited to participate by reviewing these and other FWP proposals and contributing comments. Comments can be submitted online or at public meetings. A single public meeting has been scheduled in Region 7 at 7 p.m. on Tuesday August 27 at Dawson Community College’s Ullman Center, room 102 in Glendive (300 College Dr.).
