State seeking public comment on future of Bigfork fishing access site
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is planning to relocate the state fishing access site at Sportsman's Bridge ahead of construction of a new span across the Flathead River.
The state wildlife agency is proposing moving the fishing access site, currently on the east bank of the river, to the western shore. It also calls for expanding its size to accommodate more people.
The existing access point is heavily trafficked, said Dillon Tabish, regional communication and education program manager for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
