‘Muskie Awakening’ offers hope to Illinois anglers wanting to restore Lake Shelbyville as a top-tier muskie fishery

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Illinois, National Fishing, National News, News /

“They grew larger from being held in the hatchery longer, so that (new) practice will continue,” said Jim Garavaglia, DNR’s district fisheries biologist at Lake Shelbyville.

Northern Pennsylvania hunting preserve is a refuge for heroes

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, Pennsylvania /

The mission of the “L-E-E-K” Hunting and Mountain Preserve here is to provide hunts of a lifetime for externally and mentally injured soldiers.
The L-E-E-K facility is located on 411 acres, and thanks to neighboring farmers and surrounding public forests, the organization has access to more than 40,000 additional acres. Proprietor Edward Fisher is proud of the inclusiveness of this organization, which serves veterans of all ages and all wars.

A little boating etiquette goes a long way

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, Ohio, Opinion /

Let me start out by stating I am an impatient person by nature so I fully understand how frustrating it can be when you feel like someone is wasting your valuable leisure time.
Unfortunately, becoming a boat owner does not require a person to learn ramp etiquette or boating rules, so there is a learning curve for everyone. Here are a couple things you can do to keep the peace and speed up the launching process during the next visit to the ramp.
