Mike Schoonveld: How many hooks are needed on a lure, and why?

Featured, Features, Fishing, Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing /

Years ago, there was an ongoing argument among Great Lakes salmon and trout anglers whether spoons or trolling flies with single hooks are better fish-catchers than lures with treble hooks.
That debate has quieted over time, but it hasn’t disappeared. Some anglers still swap trebles for singles, while others go the opposite direction, replacing factory single hooks with trebles.

White bass bite should peak soon on Ohio rivers

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Ohio /

The peak times for a white bass migration varies from year to year.
Catchable numbers arrive on the tails of retreating walleyes. Temperature and rainfall have a strong influence on the strength and duration. Even among the adjacent rivers of the Western Basin of Lake Erie, the Maumee, the Sandusky, and the Portage, the peak of each river precedes or lags a week or so from the next river not too far away.

Tyler Frantz: Trout fishing marks spring’s arrival in Pennsylvania

Featured, Features, Fishing, National Fishing, Pennsylvania /

The signs of spring are clear and obvious. Flowers have popped, trees are leafing out, and my woodshed is nearly empty. After what felt like a never-ending winter, my ears are now greeted by the welcomed sound of spring peepers on the farm pond, accompanied by the racket of nesting waterfowl and sky-dancing woodcocks at dusk. It’s truly a beautiful thing.

Ryan Rothstein: Make the most of your spring whitetail scouting window

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

It’s always amazing how quickly the world shifts into high gear as winter lets go. After being cooped up inside for several months, everything starts all at once and suddenly we find ourselves getting pulled in a hundred different directions.
It’s easy to overlook whitetails right now with everything else coming at you, but your 2026 deer season could easily hinge on your late April scouting.
