MISSOULA â The Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) Commission learned a little more about why it must now review fish restoration projects, although the departmentâs justification for the new procedure appears shaky.
FWP headquarters staff this week held a work session to explain why FWP commissioners will henceforth be reviewing all fish restoration projects that include fish removal.

A change in state policy has Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials reviewing numerous wild fish habitat projects, and alarming some of its private partners in the process.
Montana Trout Unlimited mobilized its members on Thursday after learning several of its collaborations with FWP were put on hold pending a new review by the state Fish and Wildlife Commission. All the projects involved removal of fish, whether by poisoning, electrofishing or netting. Such projects are typically designed to boost native fish species, such as gill-netting invasive lake trout in Swan Lake to protect westslope cutthroat and bull trout populations.
