Commentary: An updated muskie-management plan in Minnesota is overdue

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing, Opinion /

Minnesota was once the greatest muskie-fishing destination on the planet. That fact created a generation of new muskie anglers, built Minnesota businesses, and attracted nonresident anglers from around the world to the state.
But Minnesota muskie anglers now believe the number of muskies and the quality of the muskie-fishing experience has been declining for more than a decade. The DNR largely has ignored Minnesota’s muskie fishery in recent years. In fact, the DNR has failed to produce a long-range muskie-management plan that was due to you, state license holders, in 2020.

Snowstorm halts goose migration in Upper Midwest, but much-needed moisture may help small wetlands

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

A spring snow goose migration thought to be two weeks ahead of schedule has come to a screeching halt, thanks to Mother Nature’s post-winter handiwork.
A multi-day snowstorm and unseasonably low temperatures that settled across the Upper Midwest earlier this week have reset the migration, state and federal waterfowl officials say, with thousands of snows and blues moving back south to find open water and snowless farm fields as they attempt to fuel up during their journey to their arctic breeding grounds in Canada.
