Dec 1st, AFF Volunteers for Brook Trout Marking |
|
|
|
Monty Shore, Mac Balkman, and Jan Wolf of Arkansas Fly Fishers participated in the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) plan to mark the 21,000 brook trout at Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery. These fish will be stocked in the Greers Ferry and Norfork Tailwaters later next month. This marking effort will allow them to monitor these fish over time and get an idea of how well they survive and grow. We at AFF give a big thanks to those that volunteer and make our rivers better! |

Official Thanks to Don Richardson and Peyton Rose |
|
|
|
We at AFF were honored to have Mr. Don Richardson and Mr. Peyton Rose in attendance at AFF's December meeting. Don is a commissioner at Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, a field officer at The Pew Charitable Trusts, and a board member at TU Chapter 722-Heber Springs; and Peyton is on the Arkansas Public Policy Panel, and a member of TU Chapter 722. Although they were in Little Rock for the day to attend conservation related meetings, both stayed late in order in order to meet AFF members and discuss AFF's conservation efforts. Don also briefly addressed the club on water quality issues in the Little Red River watershed related to siltation from construction activities. We are very appreciative for their attendance on Monday evening and for their interest in AFF's conservation efforts, especially as both faced long drives back to thier homes in Clinton and Heber Springs. |
