Help is on the way to control spawning lamprey populations in the Pigeon, Sturgeon, and Maple rivers in Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula.

Tournament bass fishing in Michigan is growing every year, according to Tom Goniea, the fisheries biologist who monitors the sport for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
“The program started in 2016 and it’s increased every year with the exception of 2020, and it would have increased in 2020 as well if many of the tournaments weren’t wiped out because of COVID,” Goniea said. “It’s been on a steady upward trajectory.”

Aristotle (384-322 BC) and other early Greek astronomers thought that the Earth was stationary and at the center of the universe with the Sun and other planets rotating around it.
