Negative on the spearing. At least for game fish.
I read in the regs that some areas in the western part are open to spearing correct me if i am wrong but i am pretty sure
well the missouri river system is full of northerns so they must just work their way in. I talked to a guy fishing the gallatin this spring that landed 2 in there close to belgrade
FWIW, all of the pike west of the divide in MT are the result of illegal introductions. Same with those in the upper Missouri River (east of the divide of course). The Canyon Ferry pike are relatively recent, and they could not have worked there way in from below the dam. I will not be happy if they start wacking the trout in the Lower Madison.rg
Actually a fella in Manhatten Mt. had a few ponds or private ponds that he stocked Pike in and when it flooded in the early 80's the pike got washed out of the ponds. So they washed down the river...
My son caught a six pound pike up the East Gallatin up by Swamp road this summer while fly fishing for trout. It was fun to catch, but oohhh, this could get ugly for the trout.
