The Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission will discuss and set tentative fishing regulations for the 2004-2007 fishing seasons at its July 10 meeting in Helena. The proposed regulations the Commission will discuss are available now for public review on the FWP web site at www.fwp.state.mt.us on the Fishing page, in the right hand column under "Fishing Reg Revision," or by calling 406-444-2449.

“We are also considering a change in the regulation setting process that would allow a major revision of the fishing regulations every four years instead of every two years,” said Karen Zackheim, FWP Fisheries Division bureau chief. “This change will help anglers to become more familiar with the regulations and make the regulation setting process more efficient.”

The tentative regulations the FWP Commission adopts July 10 will be available for public review July 25 - Sept. 15. The public will have a variety of opportunities to comment, including public meetings, email and public surveys.
