I just received this message from WCA member Nat Gillespie and I wanted to get it up to the blog as soon as possible so that the fisherman in the valley could plan on attending.
"I am leading a brook trout forum next Sunday at the Center for Conservation and Development in Arkville. I think that some folks would be interested in learning more about the only native trout to the Catskills that is viewed as the best indicator of excellent water quality and an intact ecosystem."
