HELENA – The Fish and Wildlife Commission will hold a public hearing on May 13, at 6 p.m., to consider a proposed amendment pertaining to the implementation of the commercial use cap on the Madison River.

The hearing will be conducted via Zoom. Due to COVID-19, there will be no in-person hearing. For information on participating in the hearing, visit the Fish and Wildlife Commission page on fwp.mt.gov.

The amendment would postpone the implementation of the commercial use cap from Jan. 1, 2022, to Jan. 1, 2023.
