SWTU members,

With wind chills below zero heading our way, check out this new video. Nate Nye, the DNR fish biologist for Columbia and Sauk Counties, presents a summary of over a year of surveying and analyzing the trout streams of southern and middle Columbia County. These include several you’ve probably heard of — like Rowan Creek, Rocky Run and Lodi Spring Creek — and some probably new to you.

Nate provides a detailed account of the current state of the fishery in each and of the challenges and opportunities facing each.

This is the first of two presentations Nate has created for SWTU. The next will be on Bear Creek. We’re presenting them out of sequence because of an editing issue with Bear.

Nate worked many hours to create these presentations. Amy Klusmeier, Zach Oluf, and Drew Kasel dealt with some difficult technical issues. We hope you appreciate their work and enjoy the presentation. Fishing is around the corner and Columbia County has some streams worth exploring.

Take care,
Topf Wells
