Follow this link to Dan Oele’s new assessment of the trout fishery on the Sugar River. It includes streams many of us know and fish – the Sugar, Badger Mill Creek, and Story Creek as examples – and some surprises – Schlapbach Creek might head that list. Of particular interest are his descriptions, analysis and recommendations for Badger Mill Creek. My belief is that the report is more evidence that Badger Mill is well worth protecting in the face of the threat the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District presents to it.

Thanks to Dan for more excellent work on our local trout streams. SWTU is eager to work with Dan to protect and improve all these streams.
