David Rowe has left his Fish Supervisor position at the Southern District of the DNR and will become the Lake Management Supervisor for Dane County. That is great news for Madison’s lakes; David has a superb knowledge of those lakes and some great ideas for maintaining and improving the fisheries. We offer him TU’s best wishes for a wonderful new phase of his career.
And our thanks. One of David’s great contributions to the health and fishability of our trout streams was the team of excellent biologists he assembled. They are a joy to work with and they did not just appear in their jobs out of thin air. He worked with TU DAR to assemble the team that improves access and control invasive vegetation on trout stream easements throughout southwest Wisconsin. He planned the new Black Earth Creek project east of Cross Plains which will improve the habitat, fishability, and access to the stream.
Thank you, David, and good luck!

Carp Conversation – Free event
With summer heat bearing down, July is a good time to give trout a break and pursue something else … maybe carp? Join Kalyn to learn all about this. (note from the editor: carp on the fly is technically challenging and rewarding – they surface feed and put on a tremendous fight. If you know, you know. If you don’t, maybe see what Kalyn has to say about it.) Read More

Spring Fair 2024 = Food, Fun, & Fundraising
Last Updated: June 11, 2024 by Drew Kasel Leave a Comment
Our 3rd annual Spring Fair Fundraiser held April 20, 2024, was a fantastic time. Held on the shore of Lake Monona at the East Side Club, we feasted on wonderful food catered by the very generous SWTU member Ben Lubchansky and his family from 608 Community Supported Kitchen. The improved sound system arranged by member Mark Nash ensured everyone could hear our entertaining master of ceremonies Topf Wells. The spin and fly casting competition was challenged a bit by mother nature, but Pat Hasburgh, Carol Murphy and Kayln Hoggard braved the elements and pulled it off. The event raised over $12,600 to support the chapter’s key conservation work on your local cold water resources. Read More
