FISH INFORMATION NIGHTS PREP
ANGLERS FOR SPRING
Fishing prospects, techniques,
and locations revealed to anglers who attend
Feb. 11, 2009 - To learn how to catch more
fish, attend one of several events hosted by the Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) in late February. Called "Fishing
Information Nights," the events will feature experts on
fishing and focus on fishing prospects, techniques, and locations.
The events will also have presentations on how anglers can best
manage their time on the water.
The first event will take place on Feb. 24 from
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Fort Hays State University Memorial Union's
Black and Gold Room in Hays. Introductory speakers include Steve
Price, KDWP Region 1 fisheries supervisor, and Lynn Maska of
the Department of Health & Human Performance at Ft. Hays
State. District fisheries biologists Tommie Berger and Scott
Waters will follow with updates on Wilson and Glen Elder reservoirs,
respectively. Chad Richardson, angling guide and Professional
Walleye Tour professional, will offer tips on how better time
management can help anglers catch more fish.
This will be followed by detailed fishing forecasts
for Cedar Bluff, Webster, Kirwin, and Sebelius reservoirs conducted
by district fisheries biologists Dave Spalsbury and Mark Shaw.
Another Feb. 24 event will be held at the Emporia
Best Western Hospitality House, 3021 W. Hwy. 50 in Emporia from
6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will include a demonstration on
how to clean and cook rough fish such as carp and buffalo. KDWP
information specialist Marc Murrell will then give tips and techniques
for catching walleye. Local KDWP fisheries biologists Carson
Cox (Lyon State Fishing Lake, Toronto and Fall River reservoirs),
Leonard Jirak (Osage State Fishing Lake, Coffey County Lake,
Melvern and John Redmond reservoirs), Craig Johnson (Chase State
Fishing Lake, El Dorado and Council Grove reservoirs) will give
short overviews of area fisheries and best bets for spring and
summer angling. Jon Stein, fisheries biologist for Marion and
Cheney reservoirs, will also be present.
On Feb. 25, a Fishing Information night will be
held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Great Plains Nature Center
Auditorium, 6232 E. 29th St. North (29th N. & Woodlawn) in
Wichita. Murrell will start the program with walleye catching
tips. Local KDWP fisheries biologist Jessica Mounts (Harvey County
lakes, Wellington City Lake, Lake Afton, and all Wichita metro
lakes) and Craig Johnson (El Dorado Reservoir and Butler, Cowley,
and Chase state fishing lakes) will then give review prospects
for spring and summer fishing at the lakes they manage. Stein
will also be on hand to cover Cheney and Marion reservoirs, as
well as Kingman and McPherson state fishing lakes.
On Feb. 26 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., a Fishing Information
Night will be held in the Little Theatre at the Kansas Highway
Patrol Training Center, East Iron Avenue, in Salina. Introductory
remarks by Price will be followed by fishing forecasts for Kanopolis,
Glen Elder, Lovewell, and Wilson reservoirs from Berger and Waters.
