Montana Fishing Regulations

Photo by Jason Savage For details on how to use these regulations, see page 2 fwp.mt.gov/fishing With your help, we can reduce poaching. 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. NATIVE FISH Westslope Cutthroat Trout Species of Concern small irregularly shaped black spots, sparse on belly Average Size: 6”–12” cutthroat slash— spots -
Transfer Westslope Cutthroat Trout From

WILLOW CREEK (TETON RIVER DRAINAGE) TO LANGE CREEK (SUN RIVER DRAINAGE) I. Description of proposed action A. Description of water body and action. Receiving Water: Name: Lange Creek; Location: T21N R10W Sec 11 County: Lewis and Clark County Donating Water: Name: North Fork Willow Creek Location: T24N R8W Sec 8, 9 County: Teton Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (MFWP) proposes transferring non-hybridized juvenile and adult westslope cutthroat trout (WCT) (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) to currently fishless Lange Creek (Sun River Drainage) from North Fork Willow Creek (Teton Drainage). From 150 to 300 fish will be transferred by helicopter over a two to three year period. Relative abundance information as well as the upstream extent of the WCT population in North Fork Willow Creek was collected 28 August 2008. No more than 10% of the total population of fish >= 6 inches and no more than 20% of the total population of fish < 6 inches will be moved in any one year. North Fork Willow Creek is located in the upper Teton River Drainage 20 miles west of Choteau Montana. A short section of North Fork Willow Creek is located on private land; the remainder is on State Lands administered by MFWP. North Fork Willow Creek (1.25 miles of stream) supports a remnant population of non-hybridized WCT above a dry channel (Figure 1). Genetic tests (22 fish 1990, 10 fish 2000, 20 fish 2001, 39 fish 2006) indicate the North Fork Willow Creek WCT population is non-hybridized. -

The History of Large Federal Dams: Planning, Design, and Construction in the Era of Big Dams
THE HISTORY OF LARGE FEDERAL DAMS: PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION IN THE ERA OF BIG DAMS David P. Billington Donald C. Jackson Martin V. Melosi U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Denver Colorado 2005 INTRODUCTION The history of federal involvement in dam construction goes back at least to the 1820s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built wing dams to improve navigation on the Ohio River. The work expanded after the Civil War, when Congress authorized the Corps to build storage dams on the upper Mississippi River and regulatory dams to aid navigation on the Ohio River. In 1902, when Congress established the Bureau of Reclamation (then called the “Reclamation Service”), the role of the federal government increased dramati- cally. Subsequently, large Bureau of Reclamation dams dotted the Western land- scape. Together, Reclamation and the Corps have built the vast majority of ma- jor federal dams in the United States. These dams serve a wide variety of pur- poses. Historically, Bureau of Reclamation dams primarily served water storage and delivery requirements, while U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams supported QDYLJDWLRQDQGÀRRGFRQWURO)RUERWKDJHQFLHVK\GURSRZHUSURGXFWLRQKDVEH- come an important secondary function. This history explores the story of federal contributions to dam planning, design, and construction by carefully selecting those dams and river systems that seem particularly critical to the story. Written by three distinguished historians, the history will interest engineers, historians, cultural resource planners, water re- source planners and others interested in the challenges facing dam builders. At the same time, the history also addresses some of the negative environmental consequences of dam-building, a series of problems that today both Reclamation and the U.S. -
