BILL: Do you know where I can find detailed information on Virginia’s trout fishing program? For years that information was in the January issue of Virginia Wildlife but I no longer find it there.

K.L.: The best in-hand source of information on the trout program is the 2010 Freshwater Fishing in Virginia digest available free from agents who sell hunting and fishing licenses. Information also can be found on the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Web site, www.HuntFishVA.com.
