NewsOk's Outdoors Blog: What will happen to the Lower Illinois?

Linked below is a blog article by Ed Godfrey, Outdoors Editor at the Daily Oklahoman, on the issues faced by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation regarding the Lower Illinois River.
Oklahoma is in danger of losing one of its two year-round trout fisheries. A town hall meeting has been scheduled Thursday night [10/27/2011] in Sallisaw by local elected officials to discuss the problem.  The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Indian Capital Technology Center. Fisheries personnel from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation are slated to make a short presentation of the issues and possible solutions.
