Whirling Disease: Forgotten But Not Gone

Here’s an update and thorough review of whirling disease, a problem that remains invisible to the average angler but which is not going away any time soon. “The worst fears about whirling disease did not come to pass, but whirling disease continues to spread. ‘If anything, it’s just as severe a problem as it was in the 1990s,’ said Dave Kumlien, executive director of the Whirling Disease Foundation, a non-profit organization he co-founded in 1995 in Bozeman to primarily help develop a research plan and promote solid scientific research on whirling.” Peggy O’Neill in the Helena, Montana Independent Record.
