Public Meetings for Inland Trout Fishing

From the Wisconsin DNR Weekly News

MADISON -- Trout anglers can attend one of more than 30 meetings across the state in late March and early April to give feedback on inland trout fishing now and express their hopes for the future.

The public meetings, part of Wisconsin's review of inland trout fishing, come as recent studies are showing increased brook and brown trout populations, more trout streams, and changes in angler attitudes and habits.

“As secretary I hope all people will take full advantage of this opportunity to help the department better manage this critical resource,” says Department of Natural Resources Secretary Cathy Stepp. “I am very interested in seeking your ideas on DNR program improvements that matter to the citizens of Wisconsin. We can't do this without your help.”
