WEST VIRGINIA Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004 West Virginia Division of Natural Resources D I Investment in a Legacy --------------------------- S West Virginia’s anglers enjoy a rich sportfishing legacy and conservation ethic that is maintained T through their commitment to our state’s fishery resources. Recognizing this commitment, the R Division of Natural Resources endeavors to provide a variety of quality fishing opportunities to meet I increasing demands, while also conserving and protecting the state’s valuable aquatic resources. One way that DNR fulfills this part of its mission is through its fish hatchery programs. Many anglers are C aware of the successful trout stocking program and the seven coldwater hatcheries that support this T important fishery in West Virginia. The warmwater hatchery program, although a little less well known, is still very significant to West Virginia anglers. O West Virginia’s warmwater hatchery program has been instrumental in providing fishing opportunities F to anglers for more than 60 years. For most of that time, the Palestine State Fish Hatchery was the state’s primary facility dedicated to the production of warmwater fish. Millions of walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, tiger musky, and largemouth F and smallmouth bass have been raised over the years at Palestine and stocked into streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. I A recent addition to the DNR’s warmwater hatchery program is the Apple Grove State Fish Hatchery in Mason County. Construction of the C hatchery was completed in 2003. It was a joint project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DNR as part of a mitigation agreement E for the modernization of the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam on the Ohio River. This new facility, along with existing production at Palestine, enhances the DNR’s warmwater fish production capabilities. Anglers will benefit from continued stocking of important sportfish, and DNR S will have opportunities to expand and develop fisheries restoration projects in the state. The DNR looks forward to future fisheries management challenges and the opportunity to invest in the sportfishing legacy of West Virginia’s anglers. So, do your part and spend some time fishing this year with family and friends. I think you will agree that it is a wise investment in our future.

(See page 2) Maryland Regulation Changes Anglers are reminded to check Maryland’s 2004 fishing regulations for changes applying to the North Branch of the Potomac and Potomac rivers, and Jennings Randolph Lake. Trophy Citation Changes Anglers are reminded that changes have been made to the Trophy Citation program. (See page 6) Release Of Fish Into Public Waters (See page 4) Anglers should be aware of new requirements in state law governing the release or movement of fish into public waters. Burches Run Lake The lake level has been lowered because of concerns over the safety of the dam. Trout will not be stocked, but it is open to public fishing. Landowner - Sportsmen Relations West Virginia anglers are indebted to local landowners throughout the state. Without their consent and generosity, fishing would be restricted to state and federal lands. The opportunity for continued use of private porperty is largely dependent upon angler’s attitudes and conduct. Most stream closures are the result of disrespect for private property. Statement of Policy Relative to Public Use of Facilities It is the policy of the Division of Natural Resources to provide its facilities, accommodations, services and programs to all persons. Complaints should be mailed to: Director, Division of Natural Resources, State Capitol Complex, Charleston, WV 25305, or to the Office of Human Resources, U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Hadley, MA 01035-9589. The Division of Natural Resources is an equal opportunity employer.

  • When the West Virginia Legislature Is in Session, the Rotunda

    When the West Virginia Legislature Is in Session, the Rotunda

    RoBERT C. BYRD WEST VIRGINIAN OF THE CENTURY by Charlotte Weber hen the West Virginia Legislature is in session, the rotunda of the state Capitol in Charleston can be a crowded, noisy W place, one where silk- suited lobbyists, cell phones tucked in their ears, " ... mak eno regularly rub shoulders with mistake about it, everyday folks-men in worn blue when Byrd speaks, jeans, work shirts and their favorite ball caps, women in simple people listen." dresses-all trying their best to get the lawmakers to do their bidding. In contrast, when the Legislature is not in session, the rotunda generally presents a deserted, lonely aspect. The footsteps of a solitary visitor echo down the marble hallway. The visitor stops and silently contemplates a feature of the Capitol rotunda that never changes. There, day in and day out, a bigger-than­ life bronze statue of Robert C. Byrd stands guard, the statue's eyes keeping silent watch in much the same way that the living, breathing Byrd has so long kept careful watch over the West Virginia he loves so much. The term "legend" is one that's been much cheapened by overuse. It's a term the media are quick to apply to any ballplayer with more than a handful of successful seasons or a pop singer or film star whose appeal has transcended the years. Nonetheless, there are real legends­ distinctive individuals who have made their mark in such exemplary, praiseworthy fashion that they stand out among even the most exalted of their contemporaries. Certainly Robert Carlyle Byrd is such an individual.

It does not represent a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on whether this taxon should be designated as a candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered under the Federal Endangered Species Act. That decision will be made by the Service after reviewing this document; other relevant biological and threat data not included herein; and all relevant laws, regulations, and policies. The result of the decision will be posted on the Service's Region 3 Web site (refer to: http://midwest.fws.gov/eco_serv/endangrd/lists/concern.html). If designated as a candidate species, the taxon will subsequently be added to the Service's candidate species list that is periodically published in the Federal Register and posted on the World Wide Web (refer to: http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html).

    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.
