HELENA, Mont. (NMB) – Montana’s Fish & Wildlife Commission convened for a meeting on Thursday and approved the fisheries management plan for Fresno Reservoir.
The plan, which was created by a nine member Citizens Advisory Committee, will guide the management of the fishery for 10 years, with a reevaluation taking place five years in.
FWP says “the new plan sets the direction for fisheries management on Fresno and establishes management targets for sportfish and forage species. In addition, the plan proposes to reestablish a walleye stocking program in an effort to improve catch rates. ”
The plan will be used in conjunction with the statewide management plan.
