Michigan Outdoor Observations: New chairman of the Natural Resources Commission appointed

Regarding the front-page story in the January 3 edition of Michigan Outdoor News, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has appointed a new chairman of the state Natural Resources Commission.
Former U.S. Congressman Dan Kildee (D-Flint Township) got the nod earlier this month to succeed Tom Baird, who stepped down at the end of his first term as chairman of the seven-member, governor-appointed commission. The governor appoints each member of the commission and the state Senate holds advice and consent power over the NRC and can either approve or deny the governor’s appointees.

Survey shows great numbers, size of wild brown trout on Pennsylvania’s Little Juniata River

The results of the summer 2024 electro-fishing survey of the lower Little Juniata River in Pennsylvania show a very healthy wild brown trout population. The details of this study were presented on Jan. 16 to the members of the Little Juniata River Association at its monthly meeting.
The Little Juniata River originates in Blair County near Altoona at the confluence of Spring Run and Kettle Creek. It flows northeasterly through the Borough of Tyrone and then cuts under I-99 and through the Bald Eagle Mountain, heading southeasterly to join with the Frankstown Branch near Petersburg in Huntingdon County. Anglers come from all over the eastern United States to fish the famous stream.
