DFG Needs Help in Developing Strategic Plan for Trout Management
The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is developing a strategic plan for trout management and is requesting comments from individuals or groups interested in California's trout resources. The plan, currently in draft form, identifies key issues and concerns regarding the future of trout resources and fisheries in California. This initial phase of the planning effort does not directly address specific waters within the state, but rather it presents management
strategies and goals on a statewide level. The goals and strategies have been developed around two themes that reflect the general mission of DFG - habitat and native species protection and management, and public use, including recreational angling.
The plan is available on the DFG web site www.dfg.ca.gov or by calling (916) 445 3430 for a printed copy. Comments should be received by Dec. 15, 2002 to ensure they are considered for the final draft. Address comments to Dr. Ed Pert by e-mail at epert@dfg.ca.gov or by regular mail at CA Department of Fish and Game, Fisheries Programs Branch, 1812 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
