Pheasants Forever appoints Sabin Adams as new state coordinator in Minnesota

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

In physics, if an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy. Sabin Adams isn’t a physicist, but he is sympathetic to the principle, both personally and professionally.
“You could say I don’t like to sit around very much,” Adams said with a laugh.
On Tuesday morning, Adams, 33, who lives near Alexandria, began a new job as Minnesota state coordinator for Pheasants Forever and Quail, his fifth position with the “habitat organization” since joining its ranks in 2013 as a Farm Bill biologist in Todd County.

Extensive Minnesota crappie study delves into the ‘cycles’ of this boom or bust species

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

A new multi-year statewide fisheries research project regarding crappies might eventually shed light on the population dynamics of one of the Minnesota’s most popular, but understudied, game fish.
The study is being led by the Minnesota DNR’s fisheries research unit and will use fisheries staffers from across the state to collect crappies throughout Minnesota’s diverse lake regions. The goal is to collect as much “high-quality age information with consistent sampling techniques” during the spring, said Chris Smith, a DNR fisheries research biologist in Glenwood who’s leading the study.

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Fishing, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

In a land deal that took roughly two years to complete, the new Moon Valley Wildlife Management Area near Rochester is now open for business.
The Nature Conservancy and Trust for Public Land recently donated the 420-acre tract in Olmsted County to the Minnesota DNR. State officials said they hope the new WMA near Byron will spur outdoor recreation among traditional users (hunters, anglers, and trappers), as well as nonconsumptive outdoor recreationists such as birders, hikers, wildlife photographers, and others.

Fly-fishing gear works just fine for warmwater species like bass, too

Featured, Featured, Features, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Fishing, Home Page News, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National Fishing, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania /

Largemouth bass fishing is synonymous with many things in America’s freshwater fishing culture.
Tricked out specialty boats that scream second mortgage. Tournament anglers dressed like walking advertisements. Slick, glossy magazines devoted to the craft. Ambassadors and VIPs that span generations, from Ray Scott to Roland Martin to Kevin VanDam. In parts of the American South, the hunt for largemouth bass borders on religion – and has for decades.
But the beloved bucketmouth isn’t nearly as revered in fly-fishing circles.

Recent rains welcomed by waterfowl in Minnesota, the Dakotas

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

What a difference a few weeks make.
In late March, the talk among waterfowl professionals across the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region – the epicenter of duck production in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and parts of Montana – revolved around one word: drought. A lack of ephemeral water could dramatically affect the breeding season, they said, especially for mallards and pintails, the spring’s earliest migrants.

It’s last call for comments on the Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area’s master plan.
The Minnesota DNR is asking the members of the public interested in the popular WMA in west-central Minnesota to share their final thoughts on an updated draft master plan – a document that, once approved by DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen, will govern the WMA for the next 10 years.

Mississippi River’s Pool 2 in Minnesota: A “phenomenal fishery” in an urban setting

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

You never know what you’re going to encounter on the mighty Mississippi River, especially as it meanders through Minnesota’s Twin Cities.
Consider Pool 2 – a 35-mile stretch from the Ford Dam in St. Paul downstream to Hastings. It can be, as some anglers say, a sensory experience. An occasionally bizarre and beautiful one, too.
