Montana’s Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission will meet in the FWP Helena office, 1420 East Sixth Ave., Nov. 9, at 8:30 a.m. The meeting is expected to end late in the afternoon. The Commission will take final action on these items:

• Approval of two new Fishing Access Sites on the Beaverhead River south of Dillon and a minor addition to the Poindexter Slough Fishing Access Site.
• The Fluss conservation easement on the Powder River east of Miles City.
• Annual rule for the sale of nonresident combination licenses which calls for increases in the range of $40 to $75 in 2001 for outfitter-sponsored big game, elk and deer combination licenses.
• Renewal of a lease on Pennsylvania Power and Light lands adjacent to the Lake Helena wildlife management area.

The Commission may take final action on the Thompson-Fisher conservation easement on up to 142,000 acres in northwestern Montana. Tentative action will be taken on Commercial Fishing Regulations on Lake Helena north of Helena, and the addition of 7,800 acres to the existing Blackfoot Clearwater conservation easement. The Commission will also receive updates on public comments received so far on the Beaverhead and Big Hole River Recreational Management Plans, available for public comment through Nov. 13, and the Nonresident Upland Game Bird Plan, available for comment through Nov 27.
