Fishing for Fun Proposal Rejected in Vermont
MONTPELIER The Vermont Fish and Game Board voted unanimously to reject a proposal restricting a two mile stretch of the Battenkill River in Arlington to fishing for fun only. Commissioner Edward F. Kehoe said open access serves more people than the restriction. A July 22 hearing showed 27 against and 16 in favor of the idea. The board also plans hearings on extending wild bird and small game seasons, potentially shifting to late September through late November, influenced by drought and woodland closures.
