Montana’s Future Fisheries review panel will meet in Missoula, Thursday, July 22, at 8 a.m., at the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks office, 3201 Spurgin Rd.

The Future Fisheries review panel evaluates lake and stream restoration proposals and recommends projects to the FWP Commission for funding.  Since 1995, Montana’s fisheries have benefited from more than $7 million in improvements and about 300 individual projects have been completed.
