Bill Hilts, Jr.: Jigging for king salmon gaining in popularity
With New York’s salmon fishing being as good as it’s been in 2024, there are a few diehard salmon fishermen who have taken fishing to a new level by jig fishing for kings. Isaac Nowak of Brockport is one of those anglers who has accepted the challenge.
“For area identification we would use the typical salmon ports to the west that usually hold large numbers of salmon for the summer,” says Nowak. “Ports like Wilson, Olcott, the Oak, and Sandy (creek) should all be very productive.”

Tons of debris removed from Pittsburgh’s three rivers in cleanup effort
Although they didn’t dredge up the Monongahela River’s legendary B-25 bomber, an Illinois-based nonprofit hauled about 120,000 pounds of other debris from the depths of the Three Rivers around Pittsburgh earlier this month.
The cleanup by Living Lands & Waters extracted at least 50 vehicles, including a VW Beetle, a Jeep, a tow truck with intact boom and winch, a station wagon, and numerous boats, bicycles and other wreckage from the Allegheny, Mon, and Ohio waterways.

Iowa’s cottontail rabbit season begins Aug. 31 statewide. Iowa has an abundant rabbit population, with the southern half of the state seeing the best overall numbers.
“It should be another good year for rabbit hunting not only for experienced hunters, but for young or novice hunters who can learn necessary skills with little competition,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). “Rabbits have been one of the most stable populations of our upland species we’ve had in the state.”

Steve Carney: Find the sweet spot for summer weedbed walleyes
It’s amazing how on the same body of water, you can catch super-deep walleyes and also walleyes swimming in shallow weedbeds. I’m convinced that there are separate populations of deep and shallow walleyes on most lakes.
