| Michigan's Master Angler Pike |
|
So, you want to catch the biggest northern of your life without leaving our state? No problem. Just follow the evidence! (March 2007) By Steven A. Griffin DALE SPARTASThe open-water fishing fan of northern pike could get a bit discouraged after taking a close look at Michigan's Master Angler Award list. From lakes that have produced multiple Master Angler-class pike in the last few years, most of the trophy fish have come through the ice, not from open water. Tip-ups and spears did most of the work, not crankbaits and spoons. But then, when the ice is gone, how many people really focus on pike the same way winter anglers do, with long hours. heavy tackle and single-species dedication? Tho...

| In the spotlight: The muskie passion |
|
Such a quality is, indeed, a virtue when trying to hit the muskie jackpot Sunday, July 08, 2007 Howard Wagner with a muskie caught and released in the St. Lawrence Seaway. Muskies can be distinguished from northern pike by dark patterns over a light background on their flanks and seven or more sensory pores under their jaws. By Deborah Weisberg Uh oh, look how flat that lake is," said muskie guide Howard Wagner, as we approach a boat launch at Lake Arthur on a sunny June morning blanketed with heat. "Let's go and get a banana split until the storm front moves in." Wagner is joking, since banana splits are always part of his post-fishing ritual, and he is seldom one to kowtow to poor condi...

| 1-2 Punch For Flowage Muskies |
|
By Dave Dorazio, Field Editor When I think about it nowadays, I had what most musky hunters would consider an interesting childhood. I grew up on my family?s fishing resort located on northern Wisconsin?s Chippewa Flowage. Muskies and musky fishing were a part of daily life in this environment, and this likely gave me a head start to becoming a musky angler. As a ?resort kid,? I got to know several of the old-time musky guides who fished the Chip. When I look back on it, many of the guides were the gruff, rough-hewn outdoorsman type, but they generally seemed to have time to answer many of my questions. And as an curious kid, I?m sure it seemed like I had a million questions! As I recall,...

Bill Limiting Pa. Farm Owners' Liability for Hunting Accidents On Gov.'s Desk July 5, 2007 A bill limiting Pennsylvania farmers' liability for hunting accidents on their properties has flown through the House and Senate and been sent to Gov. Edward Rendell for signing. Advertisement The measure was backed by Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, which sought to strengthen an existing law that provides liability protection for farmers and other landowners who allow hunters on their land. House Bill 13 would amend the Recreational Use of Land and Water Act (RULWA) of 1965 by increasing protection for landowners from liability for injury or property damage caused by hunters that occurs off the landowner...

| The Virginia Marine Resources Commission soon will begin collecting carcasses of several elusive species _ cobia, spadefish, sheepshead, red and black |
|
July 2, 2007 - 11:22am By DENA POTTER Associated Press Writer RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Next time you slice up your favorite saltwater fish, consider donating its carcass to science. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission soon will begin collecting carcasses of several elusive species _ cobia, spadefish, sheepshead, red and black drum, tilefish and grouper _ from recreational fishermen to study the health of the fish populations. Since 1998, the commission has collected length, weight, sex and age information from more than a dozen species in the Chesapeake Bay. The majority of the samples come from the commercial fishing industry, but some of the species aren't popular commercial catches, s...

| Three Must-Have Rods For Muskies |
|
By Joe Bucher, Editor Emeritus Many of you Musky Hunter readers are old enough to remember the days when one all-purpose musky rod was the norm. A short, stiff, 5 1/2- to 6-foot pool-cue action was the musky standard, and nearly all of us had that one single rod. In most cases, this was the only rod that was offered in stores. While that same sport shop would offer a wide variety of lengths and actions in spinning or fly casting tackle, the ?musky rod? was just that ? one single rod. It was not because there wasn?t a diverse selection of lures. While the musky department of yesterday couldn?t rival what is now available, there certainly was a complete array of lure styles and weights. Sma...

Fishing Tales from Wayne and Robin in Idaho... I always enjoy reading his stories and hope that you do as well... "Hello again from south central Idaho." Well we miss pyramid lake but here in this small town of Oakley we are surrounded by mountains with small streams and high moutain lakes you can only get to by horse back or hiking. Our favorite stream is just 15 minutes to the trail head. This is a wild life management area for about two miles. (Big Cotton wood, BCWMA). THE STREAM IS LOADED WITH NATIVE YELLOW STONE CUTTHROAT TROUT . Robin and I spent a night about 4 miles up surrouned by beaver ponds. This stream has plenty of caddis, mayfly and stone fly. The grass hoppers are coming o...
