The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will relax the fishing regulations at Dunlap Pond starting July 1 to allow anglers to more freely harvest fish before the lake is completely drained as part of a plan to improve the lake’s depth, habitat, and water quality.
Anglers with a valid fishing license may harvest any size or number of largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel catfish, and all other fish species from Dunlap Pond.

Iowa’s pheasant population is expected to benefit from the 2024-25 mild winter and average spring that much of the state experienced.
According to Iowa’s state climatologist, last winter was the fourth least snowy in 138 years, and the spring was normal for rainfall and temperature.
“Given the statewide information, we are expecting a good nesting effort and our weather model is predicting pheasant populations will likely be higher for the 2025 hunting season,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Some of Iowa’s lesser known native prairie plants have returned to the hills overlooking Rock Creek Lake this spring, after a project last November knocked back invasive plant species such as honeysuckle and autumn olive that had thickly spread onto the area.
Standing on this patch of newly returning remnant prairie, wildlife biologist Todd Gosselink pointed out native flowers that were just waiting in the soil for the opportunity to reappear.
In a case that the Michigan DNR says highlights the importance of the agency’s bear-baiting regulations, state wildlife biologists in Montmorency County recently removed a plastic lid from the neck of a young black bear that had carried the encumbrance around for two years.
It isn’t known exactly where or how the male bear got its head stuck in a 5-inch hole in the lid. The blue plastic lid is similar to those that fit 55-gallon drums used by hunters to bait bear and by landowners to store materials that can attract bears, such as chicken feed.
