Trout Health and You

What does the health of a small fish have to do with you?

Actually, if you believe that clean water and healthy air are important, it could be that a native Virginia fish can tell you a lot.

We talk with those involved in a new study on the status of the bellwether Brook Trout.

Guests:
Paul Bugas - District Fisheries Biologist, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

Dawn Kirk, M.S. - Forest Fisheries Biologist, George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.

Rick Webb, M.S. - A Senior Scientist and Project Coordinator in the Department of Environmental Studies, University of Virginia. Author of a new REPORT on the health of Brook Trout and the environmental status of certain cold water streams in Virginia.

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
