Join Game and Parks in virtual discussion of fisheries

An angler lands a white bass from Swanson Reservoir.

Anglers can hear from staff, ask questions and get updates on fishing in their area during a series of upcoming virtual meetings March 24-26.

Six are planned, one for each Game and Parks Fisheries district plus a statewide meeting discussing the newly released aquatic habitat plan.

These informal, interactive meetings offer a great chance for feedback, dialogue and questions. All will be hosted via Zoom.
