News: Attention Deer Hunters!
The State has placed 175 G11 tags to be sold on terminals anywhere where licenses are sold. This will allow our customers that are not conveniently located near the Base Exchange to purchase the tag.  On that note, it is recommended that those WHO HAVE LOCAL ACCESS to the Base Exchange to purchase it there.  There are 325 tags being sold to our Base Exchange patrons. All tags are first come first serve. Please e-mail Officer Moses with any questions: wayne.moses.1@us.af.mil
Again, please be considerate of VAFB hunters living outside the convenient range of the Base Exchange.

We stumbled upon several dead, floating fish at Punchbowl.  What is causing this?

Welcome to the Forum Nolenw.

I don't know but I'm not surprised either. The first and last time the family and I fished there about 7 years ago we were disgusted because the apparent lack of care. When I asked about it back then, I was told that the environmentalist wouldn't allow it.

I forwarded your question to VAFB Fish and Game.

I just returned from Punchbowl Lake and it appears there is 100% death of all fish. I met with one of the game wardens and some base biologist while there. It's a devastating sight to see approximately 1,000 dead fish. I'm writing an article about this and will post it soon with several pictures I took.
