On This Day | Extreme Environmental Measures

WHOLESALE KILLING OF rough fish and others in the James river from the source to Jamestown and at Arrowwood Lake refuge is under way. The fish poison is being spread by two planes and a boat operated by the state game and fish department. That area of the river will be restocked by the state with game fish.

Why We Chose It
When the wrong species take root, sometimes extreme measures are the only responsible action. It seems today’s game and fish representatives still believe this is true… at least the news of what to do on Smishek Lake in regards to the recent confirmation on zebra mussels would suggest this. The plan is to drain the lake completely to protect larger resources nearby including Lake Sakakawea.
