When fish start dying in Minnesota lakes in the summer, and especially when there were more than 200 confirmed fish kill reports at the end of July, it gets our attention.
Yet, the warm temps are just the tip of the iceberg. In reality, the whole lake ecosystem is affected when things really heat up.

The authorities released a yellow sky warning for us early in our hike; the yellow – no smoking or open flames in the zone – put us on notice that forest fires were a possibility. The danger spread from Austria and Hungary through parts of Germany and the Czech Republic all the way into Poland. Low snow depths and no rainfall – the corn looked awful to a guy from Iowa – had caught up to us.
But after a night of light showers, the dry weather was not our major concern. Insects were. “In the Czech Republic,” Libor said, “the number one predator is the tick.”

Summertime is when the living is intended to be easy or so goes the George Gershwin tune.
That’s also what many gun dog owners say about themselves and their canine hunting buddies. Problem is, a life that’s too easy in the summer means problems for the hunter – and especially – for the bird dogs, rabbit hounds, and retrievers come the fall hunting season.

Back in April and May every angler was a hero in Minnesota’s driftless area.
The water temperature was perfect. No weeds to walk through. Hatches were abundant. Caddis were so thick and the fish so hungry that even an obnoxious Tasmanian Devil could bring numerous fish to the net. Things are different in late summer.
It was a rainy morning on the waters of New York’s lower Niagara River and on the famed Niagara Bar on Aug. 7, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the participants of the Fifth Annual Reel Impact Fishing Tournament hosting by Catching Dreams – a non-profit organization providing important fishing therapy for pediatric cancer patients and their families.
A total of 14 sponsored boats hit the water by 8 a.m. out of Lewiston, all with the intent of catching fish … and aid in the program of catching dreams to help create some normalcy for kids suffering from cancer and other debilitating diseases.

The state’s bass populations may not receive as much love as the – maybe? – more popular walleye and muskie populations, but all the same Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fish biologists are charged with properly managing bass, too.
The DNR’s Scott Toshner, northern fisheries supervisor, recently talked about updating the state’s bass management plan.

Wisconsin Outdoor News readers may have read Jack Dura’s article, “The Modern High-Tech Fishing Debate Heats Up In Region.”
Dura wrote that surveys were taken from fishermen regarding their catch with and without the use of forward-facing sonar (FFS) to determine if advanced sonar increased catch rates. However, it’s plain to see that FFS is truly a game changer by simply reading fishing and outdoor magazines.
