Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks will share the results of fish population monitoring on Canyon Ferry, Hauser and Holter reservoirs and review the effectiveness of fisheries management decisions on these waters, Tuesday Feb. 12 from 7-9 p.m. at  FWP Headquarters, 1420 East Sixth Ave., in Helena.

Data from 2001 fish population monitoring indicates a decline in rainbow trout and yellow perch and an increase in the number of walleye in Canyon Ferry.  Hauser and Holter walleye populations have declined or stabilized, while rainbow and kokanee stocked in the waters continue to show low survival rates.  Potential modifications to the rainbow trout stocking at Canyon Ferry, Hauser and Holter reservoirs will also be reviewed.
