Harry’s Pond Improvement Draft CEA - (FWP-FCEA-FSH-R8-2025-005)
Mar 31, 2025 8:00 AM
Harry’s Pond (Blaine County) is a 3-surface acre pond located in Chinook. It was the focus of a 2024 grant to enhance a public fishing opportunity in the town of Chinook, on private property. FWP worked with the landowner to establish a fishery at this location and had been overseeing day-to-day upkeep. This grant builds on past construction of angler amenities both by the landowner and the Community Pond Program. This grant request is for additional dredging near the dam and fishing areas to improve water depths, as well as increasing shoreline access and a kayak hand launch area through placed gravel. Recent sampling indicated that increased depth is needed for fish movement and winterkill concerns. If successful, the FWP action would be funding the project through the Community Pond Program and implementing the project. The project sponsor is the Havre Area Fish Biologist with FWP. The project is planned to begin in 2025. ID: FWP-FCEA-FSH-R8-2025-005.
