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.

  • Summary and Response to Upper Missouri River Reservoir Fisheries Management Plan 2010-2019 Public Comments
    Summary and Response to Upper Missouri River Reservoir Fisheries Management Plan 2010-2019 Public Comments Canyon Ferry Walleye The Upper Missouri River Reservoirs Management Plan proposes to manage Canyon Ferry Reservoir as a multi-species fishery with an emphasis on walleye and rainbow trout while recognizing the importance of yellow perch as a sport and forage fish. The management strategy seeks to achieve and maintain a quality walleye fishery while maintaining a balance between walleye abundance and prey availability. If management of walleye population abundance and their predation on desirable sport and forage species is not maintained in a proper balance, all fish populations will suffer and provide diminished angler satisfaction. This balance is particularly difficult to maintain on waters such as Canyon Ferry Reservoir where natural reproduction can be virtually unlimited. Angler harvest regulations are the most cost-effective management tool available to maintain this balance and to increase numbers of desirable sized walleye; however, limits above standard regulations for the Central Fishing District for walleye (5 daily and 10 in possession) are essential to maintain a suitable forage base that will provide growth of walleye into large size groups. Three management alternatives for regulations were proposed by FWP and the Citizen Workgroup for Canyon Ferry to manage the walleye population to attain this goal: Alternative 1: Reduce bag limit to 10 fish daily, 20 in possession with only one fish greater than 28-inches. Maintain 10 fish limit for three years in order to evaluate any changes to walleye population structure. o This alternative will reduce overall angler exploitation of walleye, while continuing to actively manage walleye to reduce predation of other desirable sport fish species.

  • The Missouri River, Montana
    SEASONAL MOVEMENTS AND ANGLER EXPLOITATION OF AN ADFLUVIAL WALLEYE POPULATION IN THE MISSOURI RIVER, MONTANA Adam Strainer, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, 930 Custer Avenue West, Helena, MT 59620 ABSTRACT An unauthorized introduction of walleye in Canyon Ferry Reservoir (CFR) challenges fisheries managers as the population pioneers new habitat upstream in the Missouri River. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (MFWP) confirmed walleye in the river upstream of CFR in 2007. Angler tag returns suggested walleye were abundant in the river. It was unknown if these were adfluvial walleye originating in CFR, or a discrete fluvial population. Understanding seasonal movements and ecology of walleye in the river will allow managers to effectively monitor and manage these fish. The objectives of this study were to monitor radio and anchor-tagged walleye movements to quantify movements and determine if two distinct populations exist, establish spatial and temporal densities within the river, and calculate exploitation rates of walleye by anglers in the river. Overall, most radio-tagged walleye relocated in the river, 88 percent river and 100 percent CFR implanted fish, exhibited seasonal adfluvial movements suggesting, similar to other studies, that two distinct walleye populations are not present. Adfluvial walleye were concentrated in the lower 6.4 km of the river during the annual ascending hydrograph, maintained maximum upstream extent throughout the summer, and out-migrated into CFR by late fall. Radio-tagged walleye only used the river between 17 March and 27 November. We estimated walleye exploitation rates were 21 percent for CFR-tagged walleye and 13 percent for river-tagged walleye. Exploitation rates for anchor-tagged walleye in this study reflect CFR exploitation rates (18% from 2010- 2014) just prior to this study.
