On Fishing 8/22
For years, the Division of Wildlife Resources, the U.S. Forest Service, other government and private agencies, along with interest angling groups have studied the possibility of placing native Bonneville cutthroat trout back into the Diamond Fork drainage. This restorative step with this sensitive species may keep it off the endangered species list and at the same time provide anglers with yet another quality high-mountain fishing opportunity. On August 16, 2006 a 21-mile section of the Diamond Fork River (beginning roughly 5 miles above the Palmyra Campground) was treated with rotenone to remove mainly brown trout from the water. This move was designed to give the cutthroats a fresh, competition free environment in which to reestablish its population. The natural poison was introduced via "drip barrels" placed strategically along the path of the river.
Excellent Bass Fishing, Trout Fishing and some Walleye Fishing on ...
The "Grand River Rafting Company" offers guided drift boat fishing on platformed rafts down the Grand River in Paris, Ontario. Fishermen will find abundant smallmouth bass, fall/spring rainbow trout… as well as pike, walleye and big carp. All trips are very reasonably priced. A five hour guided fishing trip for two with lunch is $200 total with a platform raft. Drift boat rafting is the most satisfying experience for fishing the Grand & Nith Rivers. Two fishermen can stand on the platforms and do trout fly fishing or fly fishing for bass with lots of space. Or for those that bait cast, they can sit in deck chairs elevated above the water level to easily see striking fish. The best thing about raft platform fishing is that the speed of the raft allows excellent casting opportunities at each fishing pool.
FWP, county agree on pond plan
The Lewis and Clark County Commission on Tuesday approved a plan for the management and future improvements at the pond and agreed with a state Fish, Wildlife and Parks official who suggested the creation of a citizens advisory council to ensure those upgrades move forward.The plan, drafted by an advisory committee created by the commission, calls for improvements to the pond's water intake system; limiting domesticated ducks and geese to three breeding pairs apiece plus their offspring; installing new signage and garbage cans; removing of asphalt near the water's edge; and the possible construction of a fishing dock, among other improvements.It allows the continued use of the pond for youth fishing, although young anglers would be limited to the north end of the 1.6-acre water hole. FWP Resource Program Manager Mike Korn said rainbow trout will continue to be stocked yearly.
