FWP Notes on the CSKT Flathead Lake Fisheries EIS  

“FWP believes that aggressive measures such as gill netting lake trout are not called for in the CSKT/FWP Flathead Fisheries Co-Management plan at this time. Bull trout populations are 60% above the secure levels, a guideline developed under the Co-Management plan. Because bull trout are above secure levels, FWP believes that there is no purpose and need to proceed with gill netting at this time. Harvest of lake trout through recreational angling and Mack Days are within the direction of the Co-Management Plan.”
