. Biennial report, Montana Game and Fish Commission, State of Montana. Montana Fish and Game Commission; Game protection; Wildlife conservation; Fisheries. Montana Fish & Game Department Federal Aid Id Fisheries Restoration Signs like these indicate where the public finds Iree ( to iishing areas. LAKE AND STREAM ACCESS The amount of fishing waters available to the public in Montana is steadily decreasing. One of the ways that fishing access can be lost is by land being posted against trespass. If one area is posted, the fishing pressure then increases on the remaining available waters. The Department has a program for acquiring and developing sites for public fishing access. The pur- pose of the program is to relieve the landowner of at least a portion of his trespass problem, and to give fishermen a place to fish, park cars, launch boats, or eat picnic lunches. Many sites are managed in close cooperation with sportsmen's clubs, service clubs, or city, state, and federal agencies. Most sites are comparatively small, and take a minimum of land from private ownership. A few sites are ob- tained by gift or lease, but the majority are pur- chased outright. During the biennium, the following sites were obtained or are under option: Harrison Lake 1 Tract 45 Acres Yellowstone River 6 Tracts 32 Acres Whitefish River 1 Tract 4 Acres Madison River 2 Tracts 242 Acres Jefferson River 1 Tract 2 Acres Blanchard Lake 1 Tract 2 Acres 12 Tracts 327 Acres.
