MAKE THE CALL: 1-800-TIP-MONT FISH IDENTIFICATION KEY If you don’t know, let it go! CUTTHROAT TROUT are frequently mistaken for Rainbow Trout (see pictures below): 1. Turn the fish over and look under the jaw. Does it have a red or orange stripe? If yes—the fish is a Cutthroat Trout. Carefully release all Cutthroat Trout that cannot be legally harvested (see page 10, releasing fish). BULL TROUT are frequently mistaken for Brook Trout, Lake Trout or Brown Trout (see below): 1. Look for white edges on the front of the lower fins. If yes—it may be a Bull Trout. 2. Check the shape of the tail. Bull Trout have only a slightly forked tail compared to the lake trout’s deeply forked tail. 3. Is the dorsal (top) fin a clear olive color with no black spots or dark wavy lines? If yes—the fish is a Bull Trout. Carefully release Bull Trout (see page 10, releasing fish). MONTANA LAW REQUIRES: n All Bull Trout must be released immediately in Montana unless authorized. See Western District regulations. n Cutthroat Trout must be released immediately in many Montana waters. Check the district standard regulations and exceptions to know where you can harvest Cutthroat Trout.

Jordan Pallid Sturgeon Recovery Coordinator U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northern Rockies fish and Wildlife Conservation Office Billings, Montana For Mountain-Prairie Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Denver, CO March 2013 i DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and/or protect the species. Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Plans are reviewed by the public and subject to additional peer review before they are adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objectives will only be attained and funds expended contingent upon appropriations, priorities, and other budgetary constraints. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this document, the Regional Director certifies that the information used in its development represents the best scientific and commercial data available at the time it was written.

  • Central Montana
    CENTRAL MONTANA 46 CENTRAL MONTANA - VISITMT.COM CENTRAL MONTANA CENTRAL MONTANA www.centralmontana.com · 800.527.5348 When it comes to Central Montana, the question is, how far back in time would you like to go? To 1960s kitsch at the Sip‘n Dip in Great Falls, a tiki bar with live performing mermaids? To Rockwellian winters, schussing the time- honored slopes of Montana’s oldest ski area? Or back to painter Charlie Russell’s frontier West, viewed from the windows of a dinner train? Here, you’ll experience Fort Benton’s days as a fur-trading outpost; Lewis and Clark’s 1805–06 Montana expedition; and Bear Paw Battlefield, where Chief Joseph resigned to “fight no more forever.” This land of sunny wheat fields, snowy plains and rolling mountains can take you back to a time before human civilization, too, like Choteau’s Cretaceous days as a hip dinosaur hangout. Or go back farther still, to geologic time, when sandstone rock formations slowly emerged along the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River, and the entire Rocky Mountain Front lifted into existence. While Central Montana is home to 21st-century trappings like one of Montana’s largest wind farms, even everyday interactions here are tinged with a sort of old-fashioned charm. Chatting with the guy at the next ice fishing hole, swapping field notes with fellow birders and running into skinny-skiers on the trails, you’ll find folks warmly welcoming and unpretentious, much like the hotels, cafes, saloons and museums. In such a laid-back, unbustling place, it’s easy to feel like you have all the time in the world...maybe because you do.

  • Relating Upriver Dam Creation to the Regeneration of Cottonwoods (Populus Deltoids Subsp
    Relating Upriver Dam Creation to the Regeneration of Cottonwoods (Populus deltoids Subsp. monilifera) within the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument Joe H. Offer __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Many ecosystems within the interior of the North American continent rely heavily on cottonwood species to provide a break from largely homologous and unproductive semi-arid surroundings. This is the case along the National Wild and Scenic Missouri River in north-central Montana. Plains Cottonwoods (Populus deltoides Subsp. monilifera) within the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument are the dominant tree species, found in spaced groves along the river’s banks. The cottonwoods support riparian zones that are vital to the success of the entire surrounding ecosystem by providing shade, shelter, food, as well as meeting other needs. However, in recent years it has become clear that the populations of cottonwood trees found in the Monument are aging without a crop of younger cottonwoods to take their place. Cottonwood trees are highly dependent upon riverine conditions to successfully reproduce, and even slight changes in many riverine factors have been found to significantly alter rates of cottonwood regeneration. The Missouri River, like many rivers in semiarid environments, has been dammed for water management purposes and in doing so the natural variability of the river’s flow has been altered. Along with altering variable flow rates, such as flooding and other high flow periods, the dams have changed the amount of sediment carried by the river through the monument. Both changes are key aspects of riverine conditions that effect cottonwood reproduction and regeneration. Nine dams exist on the Missouri River above the Monument, as well as one on the Marias River which enters the Missouri River upriver of the Wild and Scenic portion of the Monument.

  • Montana's Fish Chief After Another Long Winter in Montana, It Is Time to Get Excited About Spring
    Welcome Message from Eileen Ryce Montana's Fish Chief After another long winter in Montana, it is time to get excited about spring. With spring comes new growth and, of course, a new fishing season. These regulation booklets get stuffed into tackle boxes, fly vests, glove boxes and backpacks all around Montana. They not only tell you how to fish legally - they also outline the great fishing opportunities all around the state. From high mountain lakes and reservoirs to large rivers and small streams, there is something for everyone. This year’s regulations have a slightly different layout. I hope you find it easier to use. For the second year in a row, we ran a photo competition for the front cover, and I hope you agree this year’s front cover model shows the joy that anyone can experience by getting out and fishing. For the back cover, we ran a competition for the best kids’ fish drawing. Briah Ard did a fantastic drawing of a Brook Stickleback. It’s great to see youth getting excited about fish. Keep your eye out for the 2020 Fishing Newsletter. As usual, it will be packed with lots of great information from our staff from around the state. Stop into one of the FWP offices to pick up your copy or visit http://fwp.mt.gov/fish/. I hope you have a great fishing season, and if you get the chance, take a kid fishing!
