Habitat stamp projects in the works in South Dakota

In 2020, the South Dakota Legislature approved the creation of a habitat stamp that anyone purchasing a hunting and fishing license would also be required to purchase. The money raised through this additional annual fee is earmarked for improving habitat – on the ground or in the water – and for access projects in the state.
The price of a habitat stamp is $10 for South Dakota residents and $25 for nonresidents, and the new fee has raised approximately $5 million annually for the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department.

Sterile lamprey release shows positive progress in controlling sea lamprey in Michigan rivers

Attempts to control sea lamprey populations in Michigan river systems are showing positive results.
Efforts to control sea lamprey populations in the Cheboygan, Pigeon, Sturgeon, and Maple rivers since 2016 have resulted in no larval lamprey being produced in the Sturgeon and Maple rivers in years following the efforts and significant reductions in the Pigeon. Lamprey eradication in the Cheboygan River through the use of sterile male sea lamprey took place in 2017.

Here’s how to rig up double duty diver reels

Anytime I can get dual service (or more) from any of my fishing tackle, I’m a happy camper.
If I can use the same rod to troll using planer boards and then switch it to trolling with downriggers, great. It saves money (rods are expensive), and it reduces clutter on my smaller-sized boat when my rods are multi-taskers. The same thing goes for the reels I use for fishing with directional diving planers, like Luhr Jensen’s Dipsey Divers, Dreamweaver’s Deeper Divers, and other brands.
