The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is asking anglers for their help collecting information about the state's striped bass populations.
Anglers are encouraged to complete a survey that asks for details like the dates of fishing trips, how much time was spent fishing, what type of tackle was used, whether any striped bass were caught on the trip, and more. It can be found online here.
The survey effort, which began in 1993, helps the department 'gather length data on catch-and-release fish that cannot be obtained through annual creel surveys,' which provides a 'more complete picture of New Hampshire's striped bass fishery,' Fish and Game said in a news release.
Massachusetts has a similar initiative called the Striped Bass Citizen Science Project, which aims to further the state's understanding of 'what factors influence the survival of striped bass after they are released,' the release said. More information on how to participate in that project can be found here.

Because of suspicious minds, New Hampshire communities are caught in a trap
A chalk message written just outside the State House arch earlier this month in downtown Concord. (Photo by Dana Wormald/New Hampshire Bulletin) Even in my most generous moments, I struggle to find benevolence in the American right's various pursuits. I can hear the response on the left as I write: That's because there is none. But I'd rather not move through my days believing tens of millions of Americans are actively wishing harm on their neighbors. Fear and warped nostalgia seem to be at the heart of the right's rising cruelty, but to reject another's pain out of hand, no matter how corrupt its source, feels like an equally unhealthy path. All of that said, we are a few elections and a million miles past Kumbaya. So, for whatever good it does, I spend a lot of moments trying to stake out mental territory between the unproductive wastelands of helplessness and hopelessness, anger and apathy. You don't make it easy, New Hampshire GOP. This month alone, we watched as Gov. Kelly Ayotte held a celebratory signing for a pair of bills meant to prevent any New Hampshire town from providing sanctuary to men, women, and children whom other people have deemed of 'illegal' humanity. And, in a staggering affront to experiential wisdom, lawmakers also decided to actively promote discrimination through passage of the anti-trans House Bill 148. Plus, House and Senate Republicans have proven so committed to selective and compartmentalized freedom that they've passed a book banning bill that essentially makes it easier for one parent to decide what the children of other parents should be allowed to read. After all, nothing frightens the party of guns more than unchaste words broadly aimed. Two of the most celebrated elements of America's carefully manufactured identity are 'sanctuary' and 'diversity,' and New Hampshire Republicans are laying siege to both. To that end, immigrants are being scapegoated without cause for any number of societal ills — crime, the housing crunch, depressed wages — and so the 'law and order' gang, including Ayotte, feels just fine about drowning the spirit of Emma Lazarus in New York Harbor. And, because conservatives have worked so hard to strip transgender Granite Staters of their humanity, legalized cruelty has been made acceptable even for the so-called centrists who are less naturally inclined toward hatred. And the book banning measure reflects America's McCarthyite instincts to read subversion into every artistic act that rejects or challenges American mythology. What I don't understand, have never understood, is what kind of society the right dreams of. America's strength is in its communities — and I once believed that was a bipartisan position. Each of us is, after all, accountable to our neighbors, the people with whom we share so much even if our interactions are limited to the occasional friendly wave. Yet all of these crusades pursued by Republicans are expediting the dissolution of communities. Whatever defense the right raises for the persecution of certain immigrants, the price paid at the neighborhood level is far too high and will last a generation or longer. When due process is denied by fiat, when the innocent are purposely ensnared in an inescapable net, when cultural profiling is not only tolerated by invited, how can 'melting pot' bonds be formed and nurtured? When discrimination is sanctioned and diversity is criminalized, how are our city blocks and cul-de-sacs strengthened now and tomorrow? How are we to find our empathy when the stories of different lives, lived honestly, are erased by paternalism? At a very basic level, there are two ways to take part in society. You can see people as threats or you can see them as partners. When the popular pendulum swings toward 'threat,' which is the state and nation we are living in now, the risk of community deterioration grows. It is only through the embrace of partnership that villages thrive. What does that sense of partnership look like on the ground? It looks like affordable housing built not just in lower-income communities but affluent ones, too. It looks like support — in all its forms — for the local public schools that don't just educate our kids but weave families of all backgrounds together. It looks like thoughtful immigration reform that places the target on root-level solutions and not the exposed backs of the huddled masses. It looks like environmental policies that elevate sustainability — by definition a lasting public good — over momentary, irreversibly destructive greed. It looks like lifting up those with the least instead of further enriching those with the most. It looks like building a shared and intermingled future instead of more and taller fences. In my heart of hearts, I guess I know that the point of all that's happening right now is that there is no ultimate point. The right is not working toward something glimmering and distant but for something immediate, for political ends, and it's the immediacy that's so destabilizing, demoralizing, and directly harmful. To win in America today, our right-wing politics and policies tell us, somebody else must not only lose but be punished, too. And in such a world, our communities are not half as important as our barriers, our borders, and our suspicions.

NH's only venomous snake is the most endangered animal in the state. What to know about them
Most snakes in New Hampshire are relatively harmless. You leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone while keeping your yard's ecosystem in balance (think fewer rodents). But, there are one species – just one, this isn't the Southwest – that is venomous and whose bite packs a punch: the timber rattlesnake. The timber rattlesnake is critically endangered, both regionally and nationally, after humans hunted them for decades and due to habitat loss. The snakes are incredibly rare in New Hampshire, likely the most endangered species within the state. "Since 2007, the population has recovered a bit from a devastating snake fungal disease (SFD) outbreak that was first identified in our population in 2006 that was estimated to kill over half of our remaining population," New Hampshire Fish and Game Department wildlife biologist Melissa Winters said in an email. "New Hampshire's native timber rattlesnake population is still considered highly endangered and on the brink of extirpation. Up to recent history, timber rattlesnakes were heavily hunted out of fear, which almost resulted in their disappearance from the state." That population was found by a forester in 1992 after a decade of no one finding a rattlesnake in New Hampshire, which had led to speculation the species had been extirpated, like it is in nearby Maine. People do occasionally see one, but exactly where they live is a carefully guarded secret to protect that last of these snakes. But if you do see one of these rare snakes, here's what to know. How to identify: Most timber rattlesnakes have a yellow, brown and black back like the picture seen above. But the New Hampshire timber rattlesnake actually comes in the black morph. "A large, thick black snake measuring 36-60 inches," the Fish and Game description reads. "Brown cross-bands arranged across the surface may be difficult to see. Has a large triangular head and keeled scales giving them a rough appearance. At the end of the tail there is a large, blunt rattle." Why New Hampshire only seems to have the black morph isn't known with certainty, "but we speculate that it has been lost due to an overall loss of genetic diversity (a result of their extreme isolation and relatively small population)." Winters said. The snakes are most commonly confused with the milk snake, northern water snake, black racer snake and garter snake, according to the state, which are all non-venomous species. The best way to tell the timber rattlesnake apart is the rattle, because while other snakes might try to mimic the rattle, only the rattlesnake actually has one. Where they are most often found: The location of timber rattlesnakes in New Hampshire is protected information, but scientists believe that historically their range likely included the majority of the state. Some landmarks, such as Rattlesnake Mountain, were likely named for the snakes. What to do if you get bit: This should go without saying, but try to avoid getting bit in the first place by giving the timber rattlesnake a respectful amount of space. But if the encounter does go awry and you get bit, the good news is that a bite, while painful, is rarely fatal, according to MassWildlife. Timber rattlesnake bites do have an antivenom. If you are bit, move away from the snake and remove items like rings, bracelets and watches and call for help. Ideally, health experts recommend you get to a hospital with antivenom within one hour of being bit. What health experts do not recommend is trying to cut out the bite, suck out venom or create a tourniquet. How to report a sighting: If you see, or even believe you see, a timber rattlesnake in New Hampshire, contact the NHFG Wildlife Division at 603-271-2461 during business hours (Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or email a report to RAARP@ with rattlesnake observation included in the email subject line. If the sighting is outside of business hours, for an urgent or immediate report people can reach out directly to NHFG wildlife biologists via group text at 603-479-1129 and 603-944-0885 or call. These numbers are only for timber rattlesnakes, all other observations can be sent to RAARP@ Photos are appreciated in the report as well as a location and detailed description. However, do not approach a snake to take a photo. "Under no circumstances should anyone try to capture and get close to the snake as they are protected as a state-endangered species," Winters wrote. "Timber rattlesnakes are not an aggressive and will try to avoid interactions with people. Most of the time they will try to blend into their surroundings and remain still to avoid being seen as a defense strategy. However, if they are surprised or feel threatened they will try to flee, like most wildlife species, or may coil up in a defensive posture (i.e. a strike pose) so if they are attacked, they can defend themselves."
