Community Pond Program Project Approved at Hollecker Lake

Helena - Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks recently approved $22,445 in funding for a project to enhance angling at Hollecker Lake near Glendive. The funding will come from FWP’s Community Grant Program.

The Glendive Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited will lead an effort to maintain and repair important lake amenities such as the accessible ramp and fishing pier, fishing access points, access road and more. This project is expected to ensure public access and angling opportunity are continued at this important community fishery.

FWP accepts applications for the Community Pond Program each year until Feb. 1. Application forms are available at fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/grant-programs/community-pond and from FWP offices. Any individual or group with a project designed to enhance angling at a local pond may apply for Community Pond Program funding. Projects that address youth, family, education or accessibility are preferred. Applicants are encouraged to work with local FWP fisheries biologists, and public access is required.
