Thread: Ask the Biologist

Is there rules to follow when putting brush in lakes. Was thinking about sinking some in Marion but I do not want to get into trouble. Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

bluewater,

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ultimately controls where and what can be put in to the federal reservoirs in Kansas. Your best bet would be to call and check with the Marion USACE Office. The number is 620-382-2101.

Craig,

When does KDWP publish the 2010 Kansas Fishing Forcast?
I'm anxious to see how my favorite fishing holes rank this year.

Thanks
Tim

Tim,

The 2010 Fishing Forecast should be out within the next couple of weeks. The data has been compiled and the biologists are adding their ratings and double checking the numbers. We are using a new system to organize the numbers for all of the lakes sampled in 2009 and it has saved a lot of time. So if all goes well, the 2010 forecast will be available earlier in the year than previous forecasts.

Keep checking the KDWP website (Fishing / KDWP - KDWP) as the online 2010 Fishing Forecast will be available before the printed versions.

Thanks for the info.
I like that KDWP makes there lake sampling information available to the Kansas anglers. I haven't seen any others states that provide this type of fishing forcast. Thought they could be out there, just haven't ran across them for the out-of-state lakes I occasionally fish.
