Spring in the Flathead Valley and Thinking about docks

Spring is rushing in with warm weather and the snow is gone from the Flathead Valley floor.Skiing on Big Mountain ends April 6th even though they have nearly record snow.Eagle Bend and many of the other golf courses are open.Waterfront owners that need to repair,replace or install their dock need to make sure they have their permit lined up.This is a busy time of year for the planning offices.If you go to our web site LastBestPlace.com you can download the regulations and application form.The process is not that hard and if you have someone doing the work for you they can fill it out and get the permit.If you are doing repairs,read the rules carefully.You may find out that because the project is small you don't need a permit.Then you will be ready to have a great summer of playing on Montana's finest lakes.

Scott - I have a place in Lakeside.  Being a city dweller - I am new to all this country stuff.  Do we need to get a fishing permit for Flathead Lake?  ANy help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

If you fish in Montana ,you will need a fishing license.Young kids don;t need one.In addition if you fish on the south half of the lake you will need a tribal permit(not expensive).The sporting goods stores sell them or you can buy them on line from Fish Wildlife and Parks .Make sure you have enough life jackets when you go out.They check that along with licenses.
