It is that special time of the fishing season when summer and fall merge. There’s give and take, compromise, and making deals to make things happen. Sound familiar?

A ‘Bronx’ tale from a memorable day fishing

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

“Bronx is eaten up with fishing! You should come see for yourself.” My brother, Curt, was not describing the angling habits of a borough in New York City. He was describing his 9-year-old grandson, Bronx Pendleton.
Bronx was within earshot of my brother’s voice so he quickly joined the conversation.
“I fish two different ponds,” Bronx told me. “One is for bass and bluegills but the other one is just catfish.”

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, News, Wisconsin /

The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board (NRB) approved three rules involving fishing regulations, plus a Lake Superior scope statement, at its Sept. 23 meeting.
As was briefly described in a scope statement at the May board meeting, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposed a rule that would allow alternate walleye size and bag limits to help rehabilitate a local fishery. Kari Lee-Zimmermann, DNR fisheries and policy specialist, explained that this change allows the DNR to respond more quickly, rather than going through the normal, and slower, two-year process required to change a rule.

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

There are days when the forest feels so still that a single falling leaf is enough to grab a hunter’s attention. Even the squirrels seem to be on strike. It’s times like this when even the most experienced hunters risk nodding off rather than noticing things.
