Documentary takes hard look at Lake Erie algae plague

“The Erie Situation,” a new documentary film from the Great Lakes Young Professionals Network and produced by Great Lakes Outreach Media, explores the confluence of science, public sentiment, politics, and the powerful farming lobby as Ohio wrestles with how to confront the drivers of toxic algae in one of the Great Lakes.
The 72-minute documentary focuses on Point Place, Ohio, and the travails of one man in particular, Kenny Sabin. Point Place is a Toledo suburb right on the shore of Lake Erie, which has been plagued by toxic blue green algae for the past decade and a half.

Anglers hit Ohio’s Nimisila Reservoir for bass, bluegills, perch

Many of Ohio’s inland lakes that were once stocked with walleyes today have more saugeyes swimming in their waters.
The theory is that the sauger-walleye hybrids survive better in turbid water conditions and they can be produced relatively easily in Ohio hatcheries. Therefore, many lakes that were once stocked annually with walleyes have now been transformed into saugeye fisheries.

Report finds huge majority of deer are taken on private land in Ohio, many states

“Most of America’s 600 million acres of public land are in the West, yet proportionally few hunters are residents of those states,” said NDA Chief Conservation Officer Kip Adams, one of the report’s authors. “Most whitetails live in the eastern states along with most hunters, and this new data underscores the conservation importance of habitat management and deer hunting on private land.”

Bowhunter makes good on a second shot at a giant Ohio whitetail

Preston Lair of Miami County almost didn’t go hunting on Nov. 5, 2022 due to warm and windy weather conditions. He’s glad he did after shooting a 16-point non-typical that green-scored 201 1/8 inches. It was just his second bow kill, and came on a hunt where he rattled in the giant buck not once, but twice after missing on a first shot opportunity.
