Jay has been with the Michigan DNR for 18 years. He was a fisheries biologist for six of those years and the Southwest Michigan Regional manager for the last twelve years.

Jay will discuss the Westrate Property on the Dowagiac Creek to see if there is interest in a partnership if the State of Michigan purchases the property. This is a property and creek the SJRVFF knows well and has done extensive habitat work throughout.

Jay will also give an update on the St. Joseph River Fish Ladders, trout stocking, and then open the floor for questions and discussion.

Doors open at 6:30 Wednesday, September 17 at Juday Creek Golf Course Clubhouse (map).
