Better Fishing Becomes Objective of Princeton Club Project
The Princeton Wildlife Club launched a mass stream redevelopment in Camp Creek and Bear Creek in the State Forest. Three stream detectors and a dam were installed as mentors Ron Preston and others led 20 members in stocking 400 pounds of brook and rainbow trout supplied by the Mercer Anglers Club. The reflectors and dam aim to deepen water for trout production and stocking, with Bear Creek expected to become a premier brook trout stream in Southern West Virginia as the project continues through summer.
