Setting sights on a waterfowl hunt at Michigan’s Nayanquing Point
Looking up hunting rules on the handy Michigan DNR Hunt Fish phone app, I spotted the “Drawing results” box and remembered I’d entered a permit lottery.
Clicking that button, I discovered I’d been drawn for a afternoon hunt one of the early weekends of the season at the Nayanquing Point Wildlife Area, a longtime favorite spot, maybe because of its smallness compared to Fish Point or Shiawassee. Early in my outdoors writing career I covered the conversion of Nayanquing to managed hunting, with numbered blinds and daily drawings to accommodate more hunters.

From a modest start, steelhead fishing gets in the blood of Ohio angler
Growing up near the Rocky River, Ken Harper’s interest spanned the usual assortment of species: panfish, bass, and walleyes, to name a few. That was until a steelhead in the early 1980s changed what he thought of fishing. One fish was all it took. He was 19.
It began with a friend of his brother. No one in particular, just a guy who had been talking about a fish called the steelhead. You could catch them in Cold Creek. Harper knew the creek; he caught rainbow trout there. But, if you wanted to catch a steelhead, you had to go at different times of the year.
