Pacific 683-6161 change, which is beingproposed by the M o n ta n a D e p artm e n t o f R s h , W ildlife and Parks, is a result o f a m ajor survey done by the departm e nt. The survey, which included 550 fisherm en who were r a n domly sampled, was used to judge a plan the departm e n t made in 1986 to sim p lify fishing regulations. The changes sug gested by the survey were ranked as to im portance and checked ' ^ a in s ta K n if s o f b lo lo g ic a l arid, sociologkfcl- standards. ' , ■ T hetaegulaiion change on the Beaverhead, according to the departm e n t, was made to pro tect trout populations which have been severely reduced during low stream flows in re cent years. Statewide, the special fishing regulations adopted d u r in g the 1988 drought w ill be lifte d on most streams, excepting the Beaverhead and S tillw a te r River. Another change in the central district of the state is changing the present lim it o f 10 pounds a n d one fish , n o t to ex ceed 10 fish , on lake lim its for tro u t to a more e asily enforced regulation o f 10 fish w ith no w e ig h trestrictionsin most lakes. The tentative regulations, proposedby the departm e nt, w ill delete the highgrading regula tion on a ll fish except b u ll trout because of the difficulty of en forcing i t on a broad scale. *** R o y a l I n n R E S T A U R A N T & B e s t W e s t e r n R o y a l I n n M o t e l i n v i t e y o u t o e n j o y t h e f i n e s t i n d i n i n g a n d l o d g i n g i n S o u t h w e s t M o n t a n a - f i t f o r a k i n g !
