Various agencies are teaming-up to research recreation patterns on the Blackfoot and Bitterroot Rivers.
The study will be conducted by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service and the University of Montana.
The point of the survey is to find out what river users like about our waterways and where they'd like to see some improvements made.
In this feature interview, F-W-P's Fishing Access Site Manager, Chet Crowser, says one thing is clear; people love our rivers and more of us are using them.
