Meeting Date: Dec. 14, 2023Fishing and Bird Hunting Regulations • October 23rd, 2023
Background: The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) and the State of Montana have a cooperative management agreement on the Flathead Indian Reservation (created under MCA 87-1-228 and through a subsequent state-tribal agreement) that provides for presentation and approval of coordinated tribal regulations and season frameworks for fishing and bird hunting regulations to the Fish and Wildlife Commission. Tribal recommendations are presented to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Council, which votes on tentative proposals and opens them to general public review and comment. The council then meets for final adoption. The proposals are also presented to the joint Flathead Reservation Fish and Wildlife Board for endorsement. Commission approval is subject to final tribal council approval. The tribe is proposing several regulation changes to the fishing and bird hunting regulations for non-members for the 2024–2025 regulation year, which spans March 1, 2024, through Feb.
