Mix of habitats attract wildlife diversity at Iowa’s Big Marsh Wildlife Area near Dumont

Featured, Hunting, Iowa, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Dumont has a front row view of the 614-acre northern section of Big Marsh Wildlife Area and the pheasants, turkeys, ducks, geese, eagles and more wildlife that call the area home.
The recently added parcel southeast of town with a history of flooding, between the West Fork of the Cedar River and Hartgrave Creek, was sold to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) after attempts by multiple landowners to consistently farm it were unsuccessful.

Lake Superior anglers asked to report fin-clipped splake to Michigan DNR

Fishing, Michigan, News /

Splake fishing in the fall on Lake Superior is an experience unmatched anywhere else in the state. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to change, the splake bite picks up as the fish move nearshore. Splake – a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout – have been stocked in Lake Superior most years since 1971, with annual stocking since 1990.

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

Striking the balance between protecting a fishery and maximizing its recreational use across vastly different aquatic environments is challenging for fisheries managers. Factor in mercury, PCB, PFAS, and other contaminants, and the job becomes even harder.
But a recently published breakthrough study led by Michigan State University’s (MSU) Department of Fisheries and Wildlife shows promise in helping fisheries managers quantify the effects – particularly the “sublethal” impacts that are not directly and immediately observable – of contaminated waterways.
