SMALLMOUTH CONSERVATION NEWS.
This electronic newsletter is intended to provide local groups and individuals with valuable information on smallmouth conservation. Over the past several years, an increasing number of biological studies, local projects and conservation effforts have been conducted on behalf of smallmouth bass. However, information regarding these efforts has not been widely circulated.
This quarterly newsletter is an attempt to improve this situation. We encourage everyone interested in protecting and improving our smallmouth fisheries to regularly read SMALLMOUTH CONSERVATION NEWS. We also encourage you to distribute the newsletter to others who may be interested.
Anyone with ideas or information for future issues of the newsletter should contact SMALLMOUTH CONSERVATION NEWS editor, Tim Holschlag at tholschlag@aol.com
