Candlewood Valley Chapter Presents - Matt Devine & Drew Ransom of CT DEEP
Our December gathering will feature Matt Devine and Drew Ransom both from the CT DEEP (Department of Energy and Environmental Protection).
Matt is a cold water fisheries biologist working out of the Marlborough office of the CT DEEP. His enthusiasm and knowledge combined with his passion for all trout will bode extremely well for trout in CT for many years to come.
Drew is a Connecticut native who after many years honing his craft out west has come home to work with the wild trout initiative here in CT. Like Matt his passion and enthusiasm for his job is refreshing and the anglers of Connecticut are lucky to have him working for us.
Matt and Drew will be covering many topics during the evening that would include:
· Fall stocking recap and Spring stocking preview
· Results from the recent CT Online Trout Stocking Survey
· The plan to conserve wild trout in the state
· Coldwater lakes research and management
· Highlights and updates from the Fisheries Division (e.g., new staff, projects, toys…)
· Update and Future Outlook on Deep Brook/Meeker Brook project
