Minnesota Pollution Control Agency finalizing report on waters that feed Lake Pepin

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is soliciting public comments on its new “WRAPS” report of the Mississippi-Lake Pepin Tributaries watershed – a small, picturesque area in southeastern Minnesota that contains five cold-water trout streams.
The WRAPS report, or Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies, is the second report for the Driftless Area watershed. The first came in 2015. Since then, several years of data collection and analysis have been incorporated into the new report.

USFWS asks court to toss wolf-relisting ruling

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday, Sept. 13 asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to vacate a district court ruling that more than two years ago returned gray wolves outside the northern Rocky Mountains region to the endangered species list.
The relisting in February of 2022 resulted from a lawsuit filed by wolf protectionist groups and followed federal delisting of the species in 2020. Thereafter, several parties appealed the district court’s order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The U.S. government joined the appeal in April of 2022.

Lee Kernen: After 29 years, giant northern pike is a new fish of lifetime

Twenty-nine years ago, back in 1995, Max Johnson and I took our wives on a trip to the Bahamas, during which he and I fished for bonefish with fly rods.
It was our first shot at using a fly rod for this wary species. Bonefish are often spotted in a foot of water and are very skittish. Bonefish also are known to be one of fastest swimmers in the ocean. Getting close enough to throw a fly at them can be really difficult.
