FWP extends public comment period for Bass Lake Restoration Project Through October 9, 2012 by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks September 19, 2012 Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), Region One, is extending the public comment period for the proposed Bass Lake Restoration Project for the purpose of removing northern pike from Bass Lake and Mud Creek and restocking the lake with westslope cutthroat trout. The comment period for this draft is being extended through October 9, 2012. This project would be conducted within the Mud Creek watershed located approximately 6 miles southeast of the city of Eureka, Montana. The removal of northern pike would help restore native fish populations in the Tobacco River and Lake Koocanusa, which Bass Lake and Mud Creek feed. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to fund the Bass Lake Restoration Project. Copies of the draft environmental assessment are available at the FWP office, 490 N. Meridian Rd., Kalispell; Montana State Library, 1515 E 6th Ave., Helena; Lincoln County Libraries, 220 W 6th St., Libby, 207 N 3rd, Troy, and 318 Dewey Avenue, Eureka; and the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov under Public Notices. Contact person: FWP Fisheries Biologist Jim Dunnigan, (406) 293-4161, Ext. 200, or e-mail to jdunnigan@mt.gov with questions or comments.
