Fish Survey Results

[Quillback]

If you have not read the Outdoor's section in today's NWA Arkansas Gazette you might want to give it a read. In brief the AFG did their annual survey of fish populations, it confirmed what many of us are seeing, lots of small walleye, spotted bass, and healthy shad populations, so many Kentucks that they are thinking of taking the size limit off them to encourage people to keep them and thin out the population. Anyway, things are looking good for the future!

Is it online? Can't seem to find it on their site.

Thanks for your post, I would really like to read the full article to see what comments there are about the Temperate Basses -- Striped, Hybrid Striped and White Bass.

However, since I am not a subscriber all I can read is the intro to the article.

How about a little help by copying and pasting the article to another post so more of us can be educated?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry guys, I'm not a subscriber either, I picked up a copy at the news stand. Maybe someone who is a subscriber will see this and post the article. It's really annoying they went to a subscriber view only on their website.

Does anyone know who would be THE fish man in Arkansas Fish & Game? The guy who could send us the report?

I think I will suggest to them that they put this kind of stuff in the news section of the AFG website. I imagine they do they surveys on all the big lakes in AR, and it would be cool to see the results on their website.
