As Olivia Nyffeler stepped onto a boat along the shores of Minnesota’s roughly 300-acre Lake Riley, she clapped and raised her hands in celebration.
“All right,” she yelled, barely able to contain her enthusiasm. “Here we go!”
Nyffeler, a University of Minnesota Ph.D. student working with the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC), was heading out on the southwest Twin Cities metro lake to witness the first-ever, whole-lake application of copper sulfate in the battle against invasive zebra mussels.

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, Nature Page & Night Sky, Opinion /

I recently found myself on a hillside, round about sunset, hand collecting seed from porcupine grass. If you’re wondering why someone would do such a thing and are now questioning my sanity, I assure you that it’s entirely for my sanity.

Jeff Frischkorn: Reel Recovery organization offers help after cancer diagnosis

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

Words create worlds.

Words can install fear, provide comfort, change a person’s attitude, enlighten and encourage, or shred confidence and leave permanent scars. I was fishing, actually, when my first urologist made a personal phone call with words that created my new world. “Jeff, I’m afraid you have Stage 2 prostate cancer,” said the doctor, who later noted that he “never uses the word ‘cured,’ only ‘long-term remission.’”

Ohio’s Outdoors Trailblazers: Art Weber’s career due to series of ‘happy accidents’

Featured, Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio /

Art Weber never had to leave his native Toledo to practice an award-winning career in outdoor photography and journalism.
“I grew up along the Maumee River,” he said recently. “We couldn’t afford the land right on the river, but I was in the communities right next to it … I just kind of grew up stomping around in nature, looking for salamanders and fishing a little bit. So, nature has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.”
