Lake Erie lake trout reintroduction well underway

Upper Midwesterners understand better than anyone else how the Great Lakes are both big and old. I mean really, really big and equally really, really old.
The Great Lakes were filled some 11,000 years ago and hold an estimated six quadrillion gallons of water. That’s about one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water supply and nine-tenths of the U.S. supply, according to the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission. At its retreat, those 11 millenniums ago the waters filled with all kinds of fishes, which were very fruitful and multiplied.

Study shows microplastics increasing in freshwater

Featured, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

Microplastics have been steadily increasing in freshwater environments for decades and are directly tied to rising global plastic production since the 1950s, according to a new study by an interdisciplinary team of Penn State researchers.
The findings provide insight into how microplastics move and spread in freshwater environments, which could be important for creating long-term solutions to reduce pollution, the researchers said.

Ice-line technology: How’s it different from open-water lines?

Featured, Features, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National Fishing, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

You could point to a host of technological advances that in recent decades have redefined the sport of ice fishing. New batteries let you power electronics all day long, and probably longer.

The electronics themselves – think forward-facing sonar-type gear – need no further explanation. Then there’s fish houses that double as luxury campers, warm-weather gear that lets you beat the elements no matter what they are, and augers that can Swiss-cheese the ice in no time at all. So, it probably comes as no surprise that ice fishing lines have followed the advancement trend of not only other ice fishing gear, but their open-water brethren, too.

Ohio’s fall turkey season harvest falls, along with hunter participation

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

Ohio’s 2024 fall wild turkey hunting season exited the stage with an apparent indifferent audience.
In all, 651 turkeys were taken during the shortened season that ran Oct. 1 to Oct. 27.
“That is the lowest harvest since Ohio’s modern fall season began in 1996,” Mark Wiley, the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s forest game biologist, told Ohio Outdoor News.
