Fish, Wildlife & Parks and Walleyes Unlimited of Montana want to remind walleye anglers to keep more of the smaller fish they catch on Canyon Ferry Reservoir. With fewer small fish in the reservoir, larger fish will face less competition for food and will have the opportunity to grow. The first walleye in Canyon Ferry Reservoir was captured in 1989 during rainbow trout fall netting. Since then, walleye have become a very popular target species in the reservoir. Walleye populations in Canyon Ferry, Hauser and Holter reservoirs are...

Nonresident hunters who signed up for the Alternates List can now check their position on the list by logging into their MyFWP account.

Here’s how it works: After the sign-up period closed on June 1, the list was randomized. Each customer on the list was assigned a random number. As returned license...

If proposed federal grazing policies become law, those livestock could be considered firefighters instead of fire victims. Under federal proposals floated by both Congress and cabinet agencies this spring, livestock could become major players in wildfire suppression efforts by literally eating the fuel before it burns. However, current research indicates the results could vary widely depending on what landscape and climate...
