The Montana Outdoor Podcast Goes in Search of the Facts About Noxon Rapids Reservoir and the Health of its Fish!
This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Fisheries Biologist for Region 1, Travis Rehm. They cover pretty much everything there is to know about Noxon Rapids Reservoir and the fish that call it home. Did you know just how diverse the fish population is in Noxon Rapids Reservoir and the fact that it is one of the only places west of the Continental Divide in Montana that you can catch Walleye? Not only that but you can catch as many of them as you want! What do we mean by that? Well, listen to the Podcast to find out. There has also been a lot of rumors, misconceptions and just plain mystery as to why certain things are done and mandated on the reservoir and by whom. Downrigger and Travis cover a lot of topics in this Podcast in an attempt to clear all that up. How did they do? Listen to the podcast to see if they were able to answer all your questions. Remember, if they didn’t you can find a link below to Travis’s email so you can ask him your questions! Beyond the attempt to clear up any controversy and confusion this Podcast also just delivers a TON of fascinating facts about this mysterious body of water. For example, do you know how big Noxon Reservoir is? How did the Walleye get into the reservoir in the first place? What other nonnative fish are in there? Who controls the damn on Noxon Reservoir? Bottomline, is the fish population healthy in the reservoir? Those are just a small number of the many questions and facts that get answered and given to you in this fascinating and informative Podcast.
