January 25th Noon Meeting – Fisheries management on the Kinnickinnic and Rush Rivers.
Since 2018, Kasey Yallaly has been working as the Fisheries Biologist for the Wisconsin DNR out of the Baldwin office. She presented virtually due to her employer’s restrictions on in-person meetings. Kasey’s territory is Pierce, St Croix, and western Dunn Counties.
Kasey’s talk provided insight on the Kinninckinnic and Rush River fisheries status, as well as the history of these waterways and the 2021 sampling of the Rush and Kinni.
She also covered native brook trout management, habitat improvement programs and an easement program where landowners are paid to allow fishing-only access along their riverfront properties.
