The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission had planned to restrict the West Falls Access in Exeter Township, Wyoming County, from June 10 to Sept. 10 this year.

When it comes to native fish species such as lake sturgeon, lake trout, and brook trout (to name but a few), the Lower Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation office located in Basom, N.Y., (part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and situated within the headquarters of Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge), is an important component to on-going research and habitat work.
