The Huge Hole River got some motivating news the other day when Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) revealed partial spring tasting outcomes. Biologists have actually finished spring stream tasting that reveals a boost in trout numbers for both browns and rainbows along the Melrose and Hogback areas of the Huge Hole River.
Journalism release from FWP checks out, in part, that “Jim Olsen, FWP’s fisheries biologist for the Huge Hole River, states great water levels in 2023 most likely assisted enhance the survival of juvenile trout since the majority of the population boost observed this year remained in 2-year-old fish.”
This finding would support what supporters for the Huge Hole have actually stated considering that in 2015– water levels play an important function in trout recruitment, specifically for brown trout.
