FWP Approves Fishing Contests

Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has approved 32 fishing contests for 2004.

Under the state’s fishing contest rules, applications for open water fishing contests were due Nov. 1. There are no holiday weekend contests under the new rules and contests may not be held on consecutive weekends on any water except Fort Peck Reservoir and Flathead Lake.

Participants must comply with state fishing regulations, including daily and possession limits, and most contests require catch-and-release fishing.

Details on the proposed contests are on the FWP web site at www.fwp.state.mt.us under Public Notices.
