Fisheries Project Fact Sheets

From the mountains to the coast, biologists with the Division of Inland Fisheries conduct a variety of fishery management projects and programs on reservoirs, rivers, ponds and streams across the state to enhance fishing opportunities for North Carolina anglers of all ages and abilities. Below is a list of fact sheets detailing ongoing and recently completed projects and programs. These fact sheets (available in PDF format) were originally distributed to reporters and outdoor writers during the division's biennial Media Day 2006, held on March 31, 2006. New fact sheets will be posted online as they become available.
