Thanks from Flathead Valley Trout Unlimited to all of you who submitted comments to MFWP on the continuation of the lake trout netting on Swan Lake. FWP released their Decision Notice this week and opted to continue the project for five more years. Your comments were much appreciated and much needed to keep this important project afloat.

89% of comments received by FWP supported continuation of the popular netting project. This is very good news for anglers as well as for our native fish populations. The lake trout reduction effort for the first three years of netting showed very promising results. For information on the project and the results of the first three years of successful suppression you can read the Project Summary from Flathead TU. You can also read the project comments submitted by the Chapter in an earlier blog post.

The project aims to restore the popular kokanee salmon fishery in Swan Lake as well as populations of native bull trout that have seriously compromised since the arrival of nonnative lake trout in the 1990s.

“This caused alarm because lake trout are not native and are notorious for rapidly expanding and dominating fish communities in lakes at the expense of bull trout and kokanee salmon, particularly in lakes like Swan Lake with Mysis shrimp.”

“Based on other examples in northwest Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia, lake trout typically cannot co-exist with bull trout without negatively affecting bull trout.”

Thanks again from FVTU for your important involvement in the public process. Our wild fish populations depend on you being committed to their continued survival.
