Besides our world renowned smallmouth fishing you can thank the VDGIF biologists for our world class
walleye and muskie fishery on the New River. Shocking up fish to tag for your $20 information rewards
or collecting brood stock to breed for annual stockings entails harsh, brutal cold days and having to
clear ramps so they may launch their boats. Then the work starts in the hatchery! Please respect the
size/harvest regulations while they continue to establish these phenomenal fisheries.

The cycle of life is always apparent as was the case on todays trip. While a hen duck swam with her
baby's we spotted a button buck thrashing on the waters edge in distress. Before we could untangle it
from vines it had passed away. Life on the river can be cruel as well as wondrous. The hen will probably
lose most of her hatch to muskie and other predators.
