A different look for the Bassmaster Open

Comments Off on A different look for the Bassmaster Open

A DIFFERENT LOOK: There’s change in the air surrounding the Bassmaster Central Open tour: The roster for the April 8-10 season opener on Texas’ Lake Amistad includes 20 women.
Women have always been eligible to compete in Bassmaster Opens, and several women have done so. One, Pam Martin-Wells, the second woman to qualify for a Bassmaster Classic, has been entering Opens as a pro for three seasons. While 20 women out of 400 entrants may not constitute a core demographic shift, it’s a noticeable change from the circuit’s predominantly male makeup.

Vermont Instituting Catch and Release Fishing on Dog River

Comments Off on Vermont Instituting Catch and Release Fishing on Dog River

WATERBURY, VT – Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Wayne Laroche has taken action designed to conserve the wild trout population in the Dog River.
State Fisheries Biologist, Rich Kirn, says the Dog River has long been considered one of Vermont’s best wild trout streams with a reputation for abundant wild rainbow trout and large brown trout. Biological surveys conducted in the 1990s measured high trout densities, excellent natural reproduction, good growth rates and good angler catch rates. Rainbow trout have not been stocked in the Dog River since 1961, and all stocking in the Dog River and its tributaries was discontinued in 1992.
