Curriculum in New York would get kids outside to interact with trout stream ecosystems

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

While paying attention to the way his kids learn, Jordan Ross noticed something that started his gears turning. They lacked enthusiasm for learning about the outdoors, watersheds, and conservation through the traditional avenues. The way these subjects were taught in the classroom didn’t excite or engage them.
“From observing them, the inquisitive side of learning, and curiosity element wasn’t there,” Ross said.
That wasn’t the case when he took them to a local stream with a kick net to turn up rocks and investigate what was crawling underneath.

In what turned out to be the coldest day of the New York winter so far, 13 new ice anglers recently braved the cold and wind for Ice Fishing 101 on Mariaville Lake, in Pattersonville. These folks faced wind chills well below zero to learn a new skill set.
Despite the cold, it was a day full of smiles, laughs, and fish. This new event was a collaboration between Artemis Sportswomen, WildHERness, and Backcountry Hunters & Anglers.

New York programs help vets get out, enjoy the outdoors

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

Anyone who has spent time in a trout stream knows how meditative that experience can be. The stream swirls around your shins as you read the water. What insects are hatching? Where are currents meeting? Where are the fish hiding? The mind is fully focused on the task at hand.

Day on the Salmon River in Pulaski, N.Y., does not disappoint

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

The moon was high and the morning still dark blue as I left my house to drive an hour-and-a-half toward the Salmon River, in Pulaski. There I met my fishing guide for the day, Eric Henderson, of Combat Fishing. We shimmied into waders and donned headlamps before walking a short distance to the rocky shore stretch of the town pool, located under and near the bridge within the village. 
When we arrived most of the riverbank had already been claimed by fishermen quicker than us. We exchanged morning greetings with other anglers as we waited for timers to go off, letting us know it was time to cast a line.

At a recent range night, a nervous woman shows up to learn more about handling her firearm. She has the basics, but her confidence is low. Enter Lisa Clemons, NRA certified pistol instructor and all-around women’s advocate.
Clemons skillfully guides the woman through shooting exercises, critiquing without judgment, creating a space where that woman can gain assurance in herself and her shooting abilities.
