South Lake Champlain Tactical Basin Plan Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Watershed Management Division SOUTH LAKE CHAMPLAIN TACTICAL BASIN PLAN East Creek in Orwell (Photograph Credit - Mollie Klepack and Lighthawk) The Southern Lake Champlain Basin - Water Quality Management Plan was prepared in accordance with 10 VSA § 1253(d), the Vermont Water Quality Standards1, the Federal Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 130.6, and the Vermont Surface Water Management Strategy. Approved: ----------------------------------------- ------------------------- David Mears, Commissioner Date Department of Environmental Conservation -------------------------------------- ------------------------- Deb Markowitz, Secretary Date Agency of Natural Resources 1) Pursuant to Section 1-02 D (5) of the VWQS, Basin Plans shall propose the appropriate Water Management Type of Types for Class B waters based on the existing water quality and reasonably attainable and desired water quality management goals. ANR has not included proposed Water Management Types in this Basin Plan. ANR is in the process of developing an anti-degradation rule in accordance with 10 VSA 1251a (c) and is re-evaluating whether Water Management Typing is the most effective and efficient method of ensuring that quality of Vermont's waters are maintained and enhanced as required by the VWQS, including the anti-degradation policy. Accordingly, this Basin Plan is being issued by ANR with the acknowledgement that it does not meet the requirements of Section 1-02 D (5) of the VWQS. The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources is an equal opportunity agency and offers all persons the benefits of participating in each of its programs and competing in all areas of employment regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual preference, or other non-merit factors.

    Renaissance HI s SUMMER has been a distressing one for those concerned about wildlife populations, in Tparticular trout populations, in the drought- plagued East. The Battenkill, here in Vermont, has been virtually unfishable. Anyone who cares about that fishery resource has stayed away from the river, not wanting to further stress the fish gasping for oxy- gen in the dangerously low water. We find ourselves praying that these months of drought and heat will have less impact than we suspect and fear. The Museum, though, is undergoing an inspiring renaissance. We have a new dvnamic director whose energetic and visionary presence has been felt imme- diately; he has brought a new spirit to the Museum, one that we hope you will become part of as we head toward the twenty-first century. In this Fall issue of The American Fly Fisher, we present a detailed history of the Adirondack League Club, written by former Museum director and author Paul Schullery. We think you'll find his comprehen- sive article-about a group of people who, over the years, has acted as steward to a huge section of the Adirondacks - most interesting." We have also excerpted some thought-provoking, historic quotes from a new book by another former director, John Merwin, called Well-Cast Lines. These nuggets have withstood the test of time. (It may ap- pear that we are heavy in the area of former directors in this issue, but it so happens that these fellows are among the best writers in our field.) Personally, I am delighted to report that we are adding another member to the team that produces The American Fly Fisher.

  • Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog
    Scientific Name: Rana boylii Common Name: Foothill Yellow-legged Frog G Rank: G3 IUCN Red List: Near Threatened NATURAL HISTORY, BIOLOGY, AND STATUS Range: The range of the foothill yellow-legged frog includes Pacific drainages from the upper reaches of the Willamette River system, Oregon, south to the Upper San Gabriel River, Los Angeles County, California (NatureServe 2011). Two specimens were collected in 1965 in Baja California, Mexico (Loomis 1965) but subsequent searches have not detected the species in that area (Welsh 1988, Hollingsworth 2000, Grismer 2002, Stebbins 2003). The species has disappeared from many portions of its historical range, especially in southern California, where it has been extirpated from Santa Barbara County to San Diego County (see Hayes and Jennings 1988, Jennings 1995), and has not been seen in or south of the Transverse Ranges since 1977 despite repeated searches (Sweet 1983, Jennings and Hayes 1994). 233 Habitat: This species inhabits partially shaded, rocky perennial streams and rivers at low to moderate elevations, in areas of chaparral, open woodland, and forest, rivers in a variety of habitats including riparian, mixed conifer, and wet meadow types (Nussbaum et al. 1983, Stebbins 1985, Hayes and Jennings 1988). Feller (2005) describes the specific habitat needs as follows: Foothill yellow-legged frogs are primarily stream dwelling. Stebbins (1985) describes foothill yellow-legged frogs as stream or river frogs found mostly near water with rocky substrate, often found in or near riffles, and on open, sunny banks. Other authors have expanded this description, and/or offer variations (e.g. Storer 1925; Fitch 1938; Zweifel 1955; Hayes and Jennings 1988; Kupferberg 1996a; Lind et al.

  • THE ANGLER's GUIDE Fly Fishing for Trout in the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, Near Lake City, Colorado
    Copyright 1908 Charles Bradford tHE ANGLER "Anglers. • • • • men of mild, and sweet, and peaceful spirits. Moses and the Prophet Amos were both Anglers." Izaak Walton. Trout Fishing in the Ounnison River, near Cebolla, Colorado. " What a man brings home in his heart after fishing is of more account than what he brings in his basket." W.J. Long. HE Angler represents the highest order of fisherman. All anglers are fishermen, but all fishermen are not anglers. There is the same distinction in the angler and the fisherman as there is in the horseman and the jockey, and the yachtsman and the sailor. As some one has said before, there is no commercial side to angling. It is a noble, recreative pastime, indulged in by those who value the pursuit as much as they value the |;ame. The angler never judges his day by the size of his creel, while the mere fisherman always does so. It's quality with the angler, quantity with the ordinary fisherman. There are many kinds of anglers and many kinds of angling; so are there many kinds of fishermen and many ways to go fishing, but, setting aside the savage who fishes with a spear and the Japanese who have birds (cormorants ) fish for them, generally speaking, there are but two common forms of fishing and three kinds of fishermen. The two common forms of fishing are represented in fishing with the hook and line, and nshing with the net, and the three general classes of fishermen are represented in the angler, the net fisherman and the hand-line fisher— the angler, the fisherman and the fisher.
