2013 Monthly Angler Surveys
We are once again looking to our anglers for information on their fishing activities in Montana. In 2013, FWP will be conducting monthly surveys of a random sample of resident and nonresident license anglers. If you receive a survey in the mail, please complete it as the information you provide helps us to determine fishing pressure on the lakes and streams of Montana.
