New York’s brook trout record allegedly broken in the Adirondacks

Fishing, National Fishing, New York, News /

It’s been 12 years since New York’s brook trout record was last broken. But Ben Ferguson’s 6-pound, 3-ounce brookie, landed July 5 in the St. Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondacks, once officially confirmed, resets the bar for New York’s official state fish. 
Ferguson, 32, and his fishing buddy, Shawn Widrick, both of Croghan in Lewis County, were spending three days over the July 4 weekend fishing remote trout ponds in the SRCA in their pack-boats.

Ohio’s Lucas County asks for dead ash tree funding

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

Emerald ash borers (EAB) are suspected to have arrived in the U.S. about 30 years ago in shipping containers that originated in China. Their presence was first officially detected in the Detroit/Windsor area in 2002 after officials inspecting dying ash trees identified the cause.
The insects crossed into Ohio’s adjacent Lucas County in 2023, making Ohio the second state with an infestation before continuing their spread that, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS), has now reached 37 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces.

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

News reports and agency communications make clear that chronic wasting disease continues to spread to new places and also that prevalence is increasing among herds already affected by the disease.
Despite 50 years of research and attempted management interventions, there are no demonstrably effective methods to contain, much less to eradicate, CWD. At best, in states like Illinois, hunting and sharp-shooting seem to have slowed (but not stopped) increases in the prevalence of the disease.
