    Dams That Never Were

    The majority of the money that the power company spends on habitat and mitigation is geared towards native trout species and particularly Bull Trout. Much of this is an effort to fend off Bull Trout being listed as endangered and the resulting regulatory impact that would have on their...

    Dams That Never Were

    Next time you are up in that neck of the woods, hit me up. I live right on Noxon Reservoir. I do enjoy the reservoir, but I am more of a non motorized river recreationist. Despite living less than 50 yards from the reservoir and having access to a boat tied to the dock in front of my house, I...

    And everyone thought the invasion was coming from the south.

    I just knew that was going to be my best selling item on this site! Got it bagged, tagged and ready for your next trip out here. Lube costs extra.

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    I’ve talked to the local fisheries biologist about it over the phone. Sent him a few of those pics. He said that I’m not the first to express concern about it to him or his predecessor. Unfortunately, it isn’t under his authority to make a big change in season structure or method of take. The...

    5G

    According to this article, the FAA and FCC have been keeping the carriers from increasing the strength of their 5G towers for the past year and a half. Apparently, the boosted signal strength from 5G towers can interfere with the radio waves used by aircraft altimeters. I guess knowing how far...

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    I have also seen first hand the impact lead ammunition has on eagles. Over the years I have caught two bald eagles that were suffering from lead poisoning just after the rifle season ended. One was on a log out in a bay and when it saw my dog and me walking the bank 50 yards away, it jumped into...

    Biden Announces Lead Ammo/Lure Ban Across Eight National Wildlife Refuges by 2026

    I used to think the same thing, and in most places I suspect you are correct. I have changed my mind on the impact of lead fishing tackle in locations where fishing pressure is extreme or where snagging is legal. I had heard about snagging for Kokanee in a handful of waters in western Montana...

    Selway Float

    I'm trying to get on a trip thats putting on next Friday. You will have a blast. They give out so few permits that you will likely not see hardly any other people. I've only done it post season in my packraft. That was about 1' at Paradise. Looks like its bouncing around 3' right now. Should be...

    My tag type wasn’t one of the ones affected by this screw up…so far.

    Smoke

    Was trying to glass for bears this morning, but it was almost pointless with this smoke.

    Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site

    I spent an hour on the phone with one of the higher ups in the licensing department last December talking about this. I told him that I had talked to a guy hunting sheep in the unlimited unit that had killed a ram there two years earlier. I had called the hunter out on it and he showed me his...

    Yeah, I was like 95% sure that was how it worked, but was told different by a lady at FWP special licensing. Just got off the phone with another gal there and was told the same as what you posted. There are a couple of things in the regs dealing with unlimited sheep that are incorrect or at the...

    Question for you guys that have gotten your unlimited sheep tag through the drawing rather than just buying it outright. To buy it outright, it has to be purchased prior to the draw deadline (May 1). If you apply for the permit in the drawing, can you wait to pay the full tag cost until later in...

    2023 Montana Draw!!!!

    Not sure it means anything, but I was at the store earlier and a couple was trying to buy 5 day fishing licenses. The FWP system kept denying them and the popup stated that it couldn't sell tags while the drawing was taking place. They were finally able to buy several single day fishing licenses.

    ***OFFICIAL*** 2023 SPRING BEAR THREAD

    Even with the winter we had, I have seen 3 bears already this year. Saw the first one back during the 3rd week of March. That is the earliest I have seen a black bear out in MT.

    Which Bear Spray Please

    I’ve never had to use bear spray as intended, but I have been around when a few cans have gone off unintentionally. All were user error and not related to any problems with the spray cans. When the Counter Assault cans went off, even a tiny wiff of the spray was very impactful to anyone...
