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, resets the bar for New York’s official state fish.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed the record catch, which measured 22 inches, on July 16. 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 lightweight pack-boats.

From my first Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness trip when I was in fifth grade to my latest, there have been two constants that seem to be inescapable: I will never find peace or enjoyment in washing camp dishes in the backcountry, and that none of my paddling companions will like to stay in one place for long.
As someone whose favorite part of the Boundary Waters is the incredible fishing, I now know that it is undoubtedly possible to travel hard and fish well at the same time on a canoe trip. Here’s how.

After U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists tracked 10 tagged grass and silver carp to the Mississippi River’s Pool 8 near La Crosse, Wis., the Minnesota and Wisconsin departments of natural resources snapped into action at the end of June.
“They’ve been focusing on the Root River area since the tagged invasive carp were detected two weeks ago. The commercial fishers are there today,” Grace Loppnow, an invasive fish consultant for the Minnesota DNR, said Wednesday, July 9.

Every day of the year commemorates someone or something, and when I checked www.timeanddate.com to check the exact sunrise time where I planned to fish, I inadvertently learned the 27th had been proclaimed Helen Keller Day. The only reason I noticed was I’d just gotten a spam email announcing June 27th was also National Sunglasses Day.
I don’t know who gets to nominate when we are supposed to celebrate what. In this case I suspect it was the company who was trying to convince me that their sunglasses were the latest, greatest assortment ever to grace a face. I actually have a pair of that company’s sunglasses and loaned them to one of the guys fishing with me that morning.

For as long as he can remember, Doug Clifford has been in the business of educating kids – on and off the water.
But, it was an encounter with a childhood neighbor that really sent Clifford to school on his fishing lessons.
“I was in junior high and all the guys would talk about their fishing adventures,” he remembered.

I have a healthy respect for timber rattlesnakes, but only because they scare the hell out of me. And, oh yeah, they can kill you, too.
Yes, I know that in many cases a rattler won’t inject its venom when it bites, but that doesn’t matter. I’d likely die of a heart attack anyway. That said, despite those fears, I still have a fascination for rattlesnakes.
