Just when we thought we’d lost any hope of gaining an access at Eagle Lake in Cass County, the DNR has stepped up and made an offer on another property.

The Ontowa Township Planning Commission will hold a public meeting Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in which details will be explained. The Hall is located across from Lunker’s.

The majority of the proposed regulation changes Indiana announced recently deserve public support.

State biologists have put several recommended changes up for sportsmen to consider and offer them a chance to express opinions on the state’s website www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/7373.htm. That’s also where you can find details on all of the proposals. The deadline for comment is Feb. 28.
