MONTANA FISH, WILDLIFE & PARKS The proposed Fort Peck Fisheries Management Plan is moving into the second phase of the public comment and review process following public review of the first draft of the plan.

“Managing a multiple-species fishery as diverse as Fort Peck and balancing the wide spectrum of public opinion is challenging, “ said Bill Wiedenheft, FWP Region Six fisheries manager.   “We attached questionnaires to the copies of the draft plan to encourage as much feedback now, early in the process, as we could get.

Comments received in the initial public review will be taken into account in writing a second draft of the plan that will be distributed to the public for input later this month.  

“We expect to have a final plan completed in early fall,” Wiedenheft said.   Individuals may request a copy of the second draft of the Fort Peck Fisheries Management plan by providing their name and mailing address to FWP’s Region Six office at 406-228-3700 or by writing FWP, RT-1-4210, Glasgow, MT 59230.
