Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has extended the public comment period for the proposed Bass Lake restoration project, which would remove northern pike from Bass Lake and Mud Creek and restock the lake with westslope cutthroat trout.
The comment period is open through Oct. 9.
The project would be conducted within the Mud Creek watershed located about six miles southeast of Eureka. The removal of northern pike would help restore native fish populations in the Tobacco River and Lake Koocanusa, which Bass Lake and Mud Creek feed.
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is proposing to fund the project.
