Bootjack and Leon Lakes Burbot Introduction Decision Notice

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) has issued a decisison notice on a proposal to stock burbot into Bootjack Lake and Leon Lake.  Bootjack and Leon Lakes are closed basin lakes in the Thompson Chain of Lakes south of Highway 2 near Happy’s Inn.  The proposed action would provide angling opportunity, reduce density of illegally introduced yellow perch thus reducing competition with and predation on stocked rainbow trout, and improve individual growth rates of existing game fish populations.
