MOUNTAIN HOME – The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission will update all interested anglers on the current status of the trout population and habitat of the White and North Fork rivers in northern Arkansas at a town hall meeting from 6 to 8 p.m., Aug. 15. The meeting will be held at the Arkansas State University Mountain Home Campus in the McMullin Lecture Hall (Room 200) of Dryer Hall.

AGFC Trout Management Supervisor Christy Graham says the workshop is a follow up to the last management plan meetings in 2017.

“We have made a lot of progress on most of the work outlined in that plan,” Graham said. “One of the main goals of the new plan is to keep communication with our stakeholders open and transparent. A specific strategy we included was the creation of annual information meetings to keep our anglers up to date on progress made and challenges we’ve discovered or overcome.”
