Despite snowbanks and limited access, anglers like Gerry White still catch trout while wildlife rules and predator hunting debates stir across municipalities. Local writers Mike Cramond and Pete Barager share memories as Fred Whiting shifts west.

Bright new search aid for hunters and hikers proposed
A reader suggests a pocket kit with a 2 to 3 foot blaze orange balloon, line, and a gas cartridge to inflate it. The balloon would serve as an air detectable marker for loss or distress during hunts, hikes, or other off track work. The idea aims to ease air searches even if winds loft the balloon into trees. A call for interest in starting a business.
