The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission approved fishing regulation changes on the Swan River at its April 17 meeting. 

The commission approved changing the catch-and-release requirements on the Swan River to include rainbow trout. Previously, only cutthroat trout were catch-and-release.

Additionally, from Piper Creek Bridge downstream to Swan Lake, anglers can only use single-pointed hooks. Treble hooks and double hooks are prohibited on this stretch.
