PR 035 Fish Stocking Draft Environmental Assessment
Jun 19, 2023 2:53 PM
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is proposing to stock fish into PR 035, located on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, to increase angling opportunities in south Phillips County. Species considered for stocking include bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), yellow perch (Perca flavescens), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). At full pool PR 035 is approximately 15 feet deep and capable of supporting fish species targeted by anglers.
The proposed species would be stocked during the summer and fall of 2023. FWP would use hatchery reared fish and wild fish transfers from nearby sources to establish a fish population accessible to anglers at PR 035.
