April 4, 2011 By: Marshall Cutchin

  • The new U.S. Geological Survey monitoring station at Varney Bridge on the Madison should be a big help to visiting anglers.
  • Cooperative Coolwater Nursery hatchery manager Michael Show raises 50,000 steelhead fry, knowing many of them will end up as food for walleye.
  • In Trout Town USA, the annual “First Cast” party at the junction of Willowemoc Creek and the Little Beaverkill honors Mary Dette and the “oldest continually run family fly shop in the country.”
