Work resumes on Brandon Road in Illinois as carp threat grows

Featured, Featured, Fishing, Fishing, Illinois, Michigan, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, News /

Construction has resumed on the Brandon Road Interbasin Project on the Des Plaines River in Illinois, ending a weeks-long work stoppage on the massive effort to prevent invasive carp from reaching Lake Michigan.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers halted work on the roughly $1.5 billion project in late July without publicly explaining the reason for the shutdown. The pause prompted concern among Great Lakes states, conservation organizations and fishing interests that delays could give invasive carp more time to move north.

New York’s Saratoga Sand Plains WMA is Northern Zone hunting with a Southern Zone feel

Hunting, Lake Profile, Lake Profile, New York /

Saratoga County, in eastern New York, is roughly 844 square miles in size. About half of the county’s acreage lies in the Northern Zone, and half of that is within the Blue Line boundary of the Adirondack Park.
But outside the Adirondacks are a handful of sporadic, but sizable public land tracts that are located quite close to the Northern/Southern Zone boundary line, which stretches west from Schuylerville along Route 29 and onward. The further south you are in this area, the more these lands take on a small forest, or even Southern Zone (minus the agriculture) feel. Among them is the Saratoga Sand Plains Wildlife Management Area, which is a 1,000 acre mosaic of public land chunks of various sizes with other municipal lands nearby.
