Montana agency overhauls fish stocking policy in state
Teton County Sportsmen's Association met October 18 to protest the Montana Fish and Game Department's new stocking and management plan. The action replaces the five year distribution policy and envisions strict supervision by the commission superintendent and chief biologist. The plan bans planting state or federally raised fish in waters with no public access except under defined exceptions and directs that future changes require formal approval.
