Montana’s Fish and Wildlife Commission postponed its meeting for later this month because of the virus outbreak, meaning a delay for any decision on new rules for the Madison River.
The Fish and Wildlife Commission had planned to meet March 27 in the state capitol building to cover a few issues, including a new environmental assessment of regulatory options for the Madison River. The panel, which oversees Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, was going to vote on whether to put the document out for public comment.
Now that decision will wait until at least April.
“There will be a delay. Who knows how long it will be delayed,” said Pat Byorth, member of the commission from Bozeman. “It’s just still up in the air…”
Count us among the many who opined months ago the tussle over Madison access was far, far over; it’s just been on a less-than-opaque track for a bit. More to come when the world comes back to life.
