Bob Gwizdz: Could Michigan become a pike fishing destination?

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

There’s little doubt that Michigan offers outstanding fishing opportunities for a wide variety of species.
Southeast Michigan alone offers some of the best bass, walleye and muskellunge fishing, anywhere in America and other fisheries across the state – steelhead on Lake Michigan tributaries, for instance – offer virtually unmatched quality. But one Michigan angler thinks our state could be the best in the country for a less heralded species with a little effort: northern pike.

West Coast boats making a mark on Lake Erie’s big waters

Featured, Features, Fishing, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing, Ohio /

While looking for a fishing boat years ago, one style that intrigued me was those commonly used on the big rivers and coastal waters of the Pacific northwest. 
After owning an aluminum 20-foot Lowe Roughneck boat that leaked through the crimped keel, the biggest appeal of the Northwest Coast boats to me is their heavy gauge and welded aluminum construction. I have seen Starcraft, Lund, Crestliner, Meyer, and other popular aluminum fishing boats all eventually develop leaks through their rivets that become severed, loosened, or stretched by the twisting and pounding they get in Lake Erie’s notorious closely spaced, twisting, choppy waves.

Ben Moyer: Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission’s mussel lab spurs recovery in Dunkard Creek

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

Dunkard Creek is a lovely stream, flowing eastward for 37 miles, snaking back-and-forth across the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border to join the Monongahela River near Mount Morris, Greene County. For anglers and paddlers from central Pennsylvania, it’s roughly the size, volume and gradient of the Conodoguinet Creek in Cumberland County.
Until 2009, Dunkard Creek was also a dynamic coolwater fishery, a popular regional draw for catching muskies, smallmouth bass and catfish.

Commentary: Proposed cuts to forestry program more than problematic

The Land and Water Conservation Fund Coalition sharply condemns a proposal in the agriculture section of the budget reconciliation package that would slash more than $100 million from the Forest Legacy Program – one of the nation’s most effective tools for conserving working forests, protecting jobs in the woods, and supporting rural communities.
“This move is a gut punch to rural America,” said Amy Lindholm, director of federal affairs at the Appalachian Mountain Club and a spokesperson for the LWCF Coalition.
