Fresno Reservoir Fish Stocking Petition

Did you know:

  • Since 2012, FWP has stocked 171,687,678 walleye in the state of Montana.  That’s nearly 172 million!  Fresno Reservoir has received ZERO during that time frame.* 

  •  Every significant warm water fishery in the state has received at least one planting of walleye since 2012 except for Fresno.

  • For comparison, Nelson Reservoir has received 625,781 walleye since 2012.*

 

By supporting a better fishery at Fresno Reservoir, you’re supporting our local businesses, families and individuals within the community:

  • 344,770 fisherman spent $494 million while fishing in Montana.**

  • More Americans fish (23.8 million) than play golf and tennis combined (18.1 million)***

  • Anglers spend more on fishing gear and trips ($49.8 billion) than Americans spend on Valentine’s Day, Easter and Halloween combined ($45.4 billion)****

 

If you support stocking of fish in Fresno Reservoir, please fill out the petition below and let your voice be heard.
