Hofeldt Private Pond Application Draft CEA
Apr 8, 2024 11:05 AM
A landowner is applying for a private fish pond license and proposes to stock rainbow trout. The seasonal runoff fed pond is 3.5 surface acres and located 6 miles north of Lloyd, Montana. The pond was constructed with an earthen dam and an earthen spillway serves as the outlet for the pond. Although Bean Creek is in the vicinity of the pond, the risks with stocking the pond with hatchery-reared rainbow trout are minimal. The project is sponsored by the private landowner, and the license would be active for a period of 10 years from the year of issuance (2024). The license can be renewed for additional 10-year intervals at the end of each term, and the license is transferable.
