Angler wins LOC Fall Derby with nearly 31-pound king

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, National News, New York, News /

Year after year, Jack MacDowall of Hancock, N.Y. has been plying the waters of Lake Ontario to catch a big salmon.
After fishing these Lake Ontario Counties Trout and Salmon Derbies for more than 25 years, he finally caught a big king that earned him the $20,000 grand prize – a 30-pound, 13-ounce Chinook salmon that the Catskills lumberjack caught on the second day of the derby while fishing out of Oswego, N.Y.

Well, Big Butternut Lake might not harbor many, if any, muskies and smallmouths, but it does offer anglers a reasonable chance of success on bluegills, walleyes, northern pike, and largemouth bass.

Ask a fisheries biologist: Can you stock too many fish?

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, Wisconsin /

Stocking fish is one of the most visible and popular things associated with our fisheries program in Wisconsin. The promise of better fishing by stocking has intuitive appeal. We have considerable success stocking walleyes, trout, salmon, and muskellunge.
When we achieve some stocking success, the temptation is always to push the envelope, but the research is clear: Yes, you can stock too many fish in a waterbody.
