Trump pulls out of Snake River salmon pact

President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of an agreement with Washington, Oregon, and four American Indian tribes to work together to restore salmon populations and boost tribal clean energy development in the Pacific Northwest, deriding the plan as “radical environmentalism” that could have resulted in the breaching of four controversial dams on the Snake River.

Steve McComas: Examining the curious case of disappearing green sunfish from a Minnesota lake

Starting in the 1920s, gravel mining was active in the city of Maple Grove area in Minnesota. Several gravel pits were produced, and as gravel extraction was winding down, the pits filled with groundwater. Those lakes are now surrounded by residential and commercial development.

One of the gravel pits, called North Arbor Lake, is 16 acres in area and is 40 feet deep. There are no records of Minnesota DNR fish stocking, but the word on the street is that folks may have stocked trout and walleyes in the past. Today, there is plenty of evidence that fish can survive in the lake.

We pounded the panfish one winter on a small northern Michigan lake. We didn’t realizing until after the following two disappointing winters that we’d fished that first year within and above some bright green, oxygen-producing and resident (if not native) weeds. Those next two years were amid the remnants of that bed, which were now consuming oxygen as they decomposed.
