Lake Trout Suppression at Swan Lake Draft Environmental Assessment
May 30, 2024 8:00 AM
Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) is proposing to conduct a lake trout removal effort in Swan Lake, Montana, to reduce the lake trout population. The proposed action would be accomplished by FWP contracting with professional fishery consultants to conduct gillnetting beginning in 2025. These activities would be conducted annually until lake trout numbers are sufficiently low to improve bull trout and kokanee salmon numbers.
