It has been a bit of a struggle lately, but some lakes have been producing some nice walleyes. Trolling with crankbaits or spinners have been the main successful methods.

Fish can get viruses and can become stricken with diseases in a similar way to humans and wildlife. Fish can have appearances on the outside and internally, which give pause when cleaning, making you wonder: “Is it safe to eat?”

Where does one start and stop on Bob Lessard’s decades in Minnesota conservation politics? As a state senator for 25 years, from 1977 to 2002, Lessard always was immersed as a leader in conservation causes, legislation, and constitutional amendments.
