David Rowe has left his Fish Supervisor position at the Southern District of the DNR and will become the Lake Management Supervisor for Dane County. That is great news for Madison’s lakes; David has a superb knowledge of those lakes and some great ideas for maintaining and improving the fisheries. We offer him TU’s best wishes for a wonderful new phase of his career.

And our thanks. One of David’s great contributions to the health and fishability of our trout streams was the team of excellent biologists he assembled. They are a joy to work with and they did not just appear in their jobs out of thin air. He worked with TU DAR to assemble the team that improves access and control invasive vegetation on trout stream easements throughout southwest Wisconsin. He planned the new Black Earth Creek project east of Cross Plains which will improve the habitat, fishability, and access to the stream.

Thank you, David, and good luck!
