Brown Trout Invasion in Ashley Lake | Bozeman News

Brown trout are invading Ashley Lake—and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks needs anglers to help stop them. If you hook one, especially upstream of the SKQ dam, kill it on the spot and report the catch with exact location and date. These non-native fish can look silvery and blend in, but their presence threatens native species. Help FWP track the spread and protect the ecosystem—breaking the law by moving live fish could cost you your fishing and hunting privileges.

Bozeman Battles Federal Building Sale | Bozeman News

Bozeman’s historic downtown landmark, the Bozeman Federal Building, is at the center of a heated local debate as the federal government eyes selling it — a move city and county leaders are fiercely resisting. This five-story hub, home to vital agencies like the Forest Service and the post office, is valued at $8.2 million and fully paid off — yet the General Services Administration claims it’s part of a nationwide cost-cutting push. Officials argue selling it would cost taxpayers millions to replace, especially for the post office, and risk losing a cherished piece of history. The city is now pursuing a historic surplus property program to acquire it for free, with plans to keep key services intact and consolidate operations downtown. While the GSA promises smooth transitions for federal workers and USPS, no timeline or price has been set — leaving the future of this iconic building and its tenants hanging in the balance.
