As we wrap up the semester, we find ourselves in the perfect time for fish viewing. We would like to invite you all to an opportunity to learn hands-on about our local native Ichthyofauna. Come join us at Dents Run (in Granville across the Mon River about an 8 minute drive from Percival Hall) to watch the unique sucker migration as well as catch some colorful darters, shiners, and more! once in the spring every year, schools of suckers migrate up small creeks and tributaries of large rivers to spawn. Dents Run has great viewing access to witness this phenomenon as well as lots of species to encounter!

We invite you to carpool to this event. The location is provided below for your convenience. Feel free to park at The River Church in Granville and either DM or message us in the WVU AFS GroupMe when you arrive so that we can shuttle you if need be! The church is a solid 10-second drive away from the site but the site itself is parking-limited. Bring waders or clothes you don't mind getting wet in, water, and a desire to learn about some neat fishes!

Our wild game dinner fundraiser on Saturday was an absolute HIT! Thank you so much to all who came and supported WVU TWS and AFS, and a special thank you to our silent auction item donors and the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department! We had a blast getting to pull this off for you and see everyone so excited to be together, win some amazing prizes, and eat some great food. The funds raised from this event will get put to use providing members of WVU TWS and AFS professional development experiences in fisheries and wildlife!

Time sure flies because we are now only 5 DAYS away from our annual Game Dinner at the Clinton District Volunteer Fire Department!!! To get y'all excited for the upcoming event, we will be teasing some of the dishes we plan to serve, as well as some of the great prizes that you could have a chance to win through our silent auctions:

For Monday, we will be starting off with a dish that is a returning crowd favorite from last year - the Pinwheel Stuffed Venison Backstraps! These savory pinwheels are stuffed with cream cheese, sautéed onions, and jalapenos before being rolled over, wrapped in bacon, and smoked to deliciousness. Better show up early before this one is all gone!!!

If you want to try this and many other delicious game meats that we have to offer, stop by and see us and this Saturday (4/5) from 4:00pm - 8:00pm at Clinton District Fire Hall.
