Retired couple maintains commitment to Illinois Natural History Survey’s insect collection

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

What began as volunteer work became something more: a family commitment to preserve one of North America’s oldest and largest insect collections.
One day this spring, William “Bill” and Cindy Ruesink arrived at the Natural Resources Building on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus – a 400-mile round-trip journey they have been making regularly from their home in Chesterfield, Mo., over the past year.

Steve Sarley: Keep or release? It should be up to the ‘catcher’

Featured, Fishing, Illinois, Opinion /

There are some words and terms that are so basic, they really don’t have to be explained. I am sure that you have all heard the term “catch and release.” It refers to the concept of catching fish and putting them back in the water to live another day, grow larger, and be caught again.
Simple, isn’t it?

Spring Garden Dam removal at Tyler State Park starts

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

Work began in mid-September to remove the Spring Garden Dam on Neshaminy Creek inside Tyler State Park, Bucks County, Pa. Demolition of the 9-foot-tall dam was expected to last three to four weeks.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Fish & Boat Commission are removing the dam to restore the natural flow of the creek, allow for better fish passage for species like American shad, and make transit more convenient and safer for paddlers.

Glenn Sapir: Paradise lost in the form of a favorite bass pond

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, New York /

I’d passed it in my car almost every day. It was an intriguing mystery, as is almost any body of water that I see, but have never fished.
This one was a mere mile from my house. Only two visible houses bordered Bryant Pond, and an abandoned sleep-away camp was the largest entity that occupied its shoreline. Every time I drove by the water, I fantasized about casting a lure toward the lily pads I could see from the road.
