Theresa Marsh drawdown, dam repair will test Wisconsin duck hunters

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Wisconsin /

Duck hunters will have a difficult time navigating on Theresa Marsh this fall with water levels dramatically lowered to allow construction and repair to the main dike that impounds nearly 1,500 acres of water at full pool.
Steffen Peterson is the Wisconsin DNR property manager at Theresa Marsh. He said the mile-long dike on either side of the dam on Rock River’s East Branch on the northwest side of the marsh was built in 1968 using soil near the site.

Minnesota bears are consumed by eating in the fall in quest to put on incredible weight

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

Andrew Tri is fond of working analogies.
As the Minnesota DNR’s bear project leader, Tri uses them as a way to educate the public. Take retired Olympic swimmer and multiple gold medalist Michael Phelps. When Phelps was in training, his eating habits were the stuff of legend. He regularly consumed 10,000 calories per day, much of them from junk food, because he was burning so many calories in the pool.
Tri has used the Phelps anecdote during public presentations to illustrate the black bear feeding frenzy called hyperphagia.

Southeast Pennsylvania streams deserve praise for September panfishing

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, Pennsylvania /

A now obscure and defunct singing group called, “The Happenings” had a huge hit in 1966 with the song, “See You in September.”
First hearing it as teenager, I thought it was the Beach Boys singing. That’s how close their sound was to the iconic group. When I went to one of my favorite warmwater streams to catch some bass and panfish on an astoundingly hot mid-July day, I made a couple of tosses with a 3-weight fly- rod then found myself inadvertently crooning these lyrics:

Jeffrey Frischkorn: My vote for Ohio state fish? The largemouth bass

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

For the past couple of Ohio Outdoor News print issues, the reader’s “Sounding Board” has asked a simple enough question: “Is the walleye a good choice for the official state fish of Ohio.”
In the Aug. 2 issue, of the five responders, only fellow Ohio Outdoor News columnist Steve Pollick (brave soul that he is) picked a species other than the walleye. He made a compelling argument for the smallmouth bass. Compelling, perhaps, but not convincing.

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

Here’s a mystery involving a single lake with two plant conditions.
Pike Lake in Scott County, Minn., presented a huge surprise during the summer of 2024. It’s a 50-acre lake with two basins separated by a shallow channel. Prior to my field work there, I didn’t know much about the lake.
