The trout
pond, one mile west of Davidson, has continued to see ongoing beautification
efforts since its official opening last season. The fish were funded in part by
the ARWF and by donation from Living Sky Outfitters.
Jeff Doyle from Living Sky Outfitters, and John McJannet (ARWF) introduced the rainbow
trout after first acclimating them to the water temperature for 20 minutes. It
is anticipated the fish will be large enough to bite a hook by July.
The pond will officially open to the public on the August long weekend. While
everyone is invited to visit the park once open, they are asked to leave their
dogs at home, and observe the daily catch limit of one fish per day to take
home to eat.
“The ARWF graciously asks that everyone please enjoy and respect the area as a
wildlife area for now and generations to follow,” wrote John McJannet.
