Few anglers go out specifically to catch chain pickerel. They are the Rodney Dangerfields of Pennsylvania’s fishing world. That’s too bad, because this least-pursued of our state’s gamefish species is both easy and fun to catch.
Memories of my childhood days fishing include many a chain pickerel taken from two streams that coursed through the valley in which I lived.
Three researchers from Cornell University and UW-Madison think the federal government should take the lead on managing the nation’s deer and elk, arguing that hunters and state wildlife agencies aren’t controlling the herds’ impacts on society, forests, and other wildlife.
In a report published April 3 in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Conservation Science, the researchers charge state wildlife agencies are catering to recreational hunters. Their paper – “Where have all the Flowers Gone? A call for federal leadership in deer management in the United States” – claims state-agency deference to less than 10% of the population (hunters) lets deer herds overpopulate, thus neglecting the states’ obligations to manage wildlife for all citizens.

The Wisconsin DNR’s lead sturgeon biologist, Margaret Stadig, doesn’t mind getting up close and personal with a 100-pound lake sturgeon as she and other DNR sturgeon team members gathered April 15 at Bamboo Bend, a popular Wolf River sturgeon viewing spot on the east side of Shiocton, Wis.
Thousands of sturgeon make their annual spawning trip up the Wolf River from Lake Winnebago. Although most of them return to Winnebago or the upriver lakes after the spawn, others head upriver to the Shawano dam.
