The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will host a second special public workshop Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:30 at the Vada Sheid Community Development Center on the Arkansas State University-Mountain Home campus. The purpose of the workshop is to review and revise the Bull Shoals and Norfork Tailwaters Trout Management Plan.The current trout management plans for the 92 and 4.5 mile trout fisheries on the White River and North Fork of the White River below Bull Shoals and Norfork Dams were developed in 2007. The first workshop in the revision process was held on Aug. 3, and attendees had the opportunity to provide input on their likes and dislikes about each tailwater. Approximately 103 people attended the workshop.
Trout Management Supervisor Christy Graham says in a continued effort to keep the public involved, AGFC wants to give concerned anglers and stakeholders the opportunity to give input on the direction of the fishery. She says a priority is to make sure the fisheries are the best they can be and are meeting the expectations of anglers.
The public meeting is the second step of the revision, which is scheduled to occur every five years.
Progress of the tailwaters management plan revisions will be posted on http://www.agfc.com throughout the process.
