FISH INFORMATION NIGHTS MARCH
7-8
Fishing techniques, reservoir forecasts,
aquatic nuisance species to be covered at Hays, Salina events
Feb. 21, 2007 - HAYS -- Catch more fish.
It's likely you will if you attend one of two events hosted by
the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) in northcentral
Kansas on March 7 and 8. Called Fishing Information Nights, the
events will feature experts on fishing and focus on fishing prospects,
techniques, and locations. The events will also feature presentations
on how anglers can help protect Kansas waters from unwanted aquatic
hitchhikers, formally known as aquatic nuisance species (ANS).
Both events are free to the public.
The first event will take place on March 7 from
7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Fort Hays Ballroom, Ft. Hays State
University Memorial Union in Hays. Introductory speakers will
include Steve Price, KDWP Region 1 Fisheries and Wildlife Division
supervisor, and Lynn Maska of the Department of Health &
Human Performance at Ft. Hays State. District fisheries biologists
Tommie Berger and Mark Shaw will follow with fishing forecasts
for Kanopolis, Sebelius, Webster, and Wilson reservoirs.
This will be followed by a presentation entitled
"Aquatic Nuisance Species in Kansas," by Jason Goeckler,
ANS coordinator, Emporia. Following Goeckler's presentation,
district fisheries biologists Lynn Davignon and Scott
Waters will present the fishing forecasts for Cedar Bluff, Glen
Elder, and Lovewell reservoirs.
The second event will be held on March 8 from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Little Theatre at the Kansas Highway Patrol
Training Center, East Iron Avenue, in Salina. Introductory remarks
by Price and Brian Underwood of the Salina Parks and Recreation
Commission will be followed by fishing forecasts for Glen Elder
and Milford reservoirs from district fisheries biologists Scott
Waters and John Reinke. Goeckler will repeat his presentation
on ANS, and Berger will wrap up the session with fishing forecasts
for Kanopolis and Wilson reservoirs.
Biologists will take questions from the audience
at both events.

1 staff. For more information, phone 785-628-8614.
