DNR conducting fish community survey
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is conducting a comprehensive fish community survey at the Dugger Unit of Greene-Sullivan State Forest this year.
The angler creel survey is part of a study that began March 3, and will run through October. A DNR creel clerk will be stationed at various lakes at the southwest Indiana property to conduct brief interviews as anglers end their fishing trips.
Angler participation is a vital part of this study. Interview data allow biologists to evaluate both the harvest and the catch-and-release of game species at these lakes. Survey results enable biologists to better manage fish resources.
Along with the creel survey, a spring muskie survey and a general fish community survey will be conducted at the Dugger Unit throughout spring and summer.
