A public meeting was held in Eagar, Apache County, on September 21 to provide information and gather comments on a proposed fishing regulation change for Becker Lake, located near the towns of Springerville and Eagar. A PowerPoint presentation was given to explain why Becker Lake was chosen for this type of management change and what it would mean for the fishery and the town. Comments were mixed, with 2/3 of the returned surveys strongly opposing the proposal and 1/3 strongly supporting the proposal. These results were vastly different from previous responses, which have been overwhelmingly positive. The Eagar Town Council discussed these comments and the proposal in a Town Council meeting immediately following the public meeting. The Town Council thought the benefits to the entire community outweighed the specific concerns of the 14 individuals that opposed the proposal, and voted to write a letter of support for the proposal to the Commission. The Department will also be presenting a similar presentation to the Springerville Town Council on October 6 at 6:00 p.m.
