Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks invites anglers and other interested parties to participate in a survey regarding changes to the 2020 fishing regulations.
The survey is part of a public scoping process to review fishing regulations and identify potential issues with fisheries. This review happens every four years.
“Public input is vital to crafting fishing regulations,” said Eric Roberts, FWP fisheries management bureau chief. “We evaluate how a regulation may impact a fishery biologically, angling opportunities for the public and the regulation’s social acceptability.”
This initial scoping process runs through June 21. FWP staff will then formulate tentative proposals to present to the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission in August. Additional public comment on tentative proposals will be collected this fall and the final regulations will be considered at the October commission meeting.
Some of the ideas now being considered by FWP include:
- Changing the largemouth and smallmouth bass limits on some waterbodies in the Western Fishing District;
- Allowing single-point lures only on the Middle, North and South Forks of the Flathead River;
- Implementing a “hoot owl” restriction on the Ennis Dam to Mouth stretch of the Madison River that would prohibit fishing between 2 p.m. and midnight from July 1 through Aug. 31;
- Establishing no limit or mandatory harvest of northern pike and standardizing the daily walleye limit on the Missouri River from Holter Dam to Black Eagle Dam;
- Requiring ice fishing shelters to be removed from the ice by at least March 1 in the Eastern Fishing District;
- Allowing bow and arrow harvest of Chinook salmon from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 on Fort Peck Reservoir.
Anglers and others are invited to participate by reviewing these and other FWP ideas, and by contributing additional ideas of their own.
Comments can be submitted online or at public meetings that will soon be scheduled in each FWP region. Comments can also be sent by mail to Montana FWP Fisheries Division, P.O. Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620-0701 or via email at fwpRegs20@mt.gov.
The survey is available at fwp.mt.gov/fish/publicComments/regsScoping.html.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
