FWP hears petitions on boating regulations for Bull River, Swan Lake
Wildlife officials will consider new rules regulating the use of motorized boats on the Bull River south of Libby, following a petition from a local landowner.
The Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission voted Wednesday to accept a petition calling for the regulation of motorized watercraft on the Bull River in Northwest Montana. The vote initiates a public comment and review process, after which commissioners will decide whether to adopt new rules.
“I’ve been playing on the Bull River since I was a boy, and now my kids, my grandkids. We all spend a lot of time by or in the river,” said the petition’s author, Paul Overman. “It’s been a quiet peaceful safe river for years.”
