If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing. It's always fun to introduce someone to fishing and the "take a kid fishing" mantra has been stated for years, but the important part is to make the experience enjoyable and catch fish.
An ongoing fish die-off on Lake Macatawa, near Holland in Ottawa County, stems from the virus responsible for causing viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS, the Michigan DNR confirmed.
Abu Garcia has added a new model to the Zenon spinning selection with the Zenon X.
This new model fills the gap by offering the flexibility to fish lightweight finesse style baits while also providing the power to handle heavier baits when needed.

(Editors note: Southwest Michigan deer hunter Pat Kleppert has chronicled his hunting season in a region plagued by the EHD virus.)
This season has been a struggle. The lack of older bucks and does makes it tough to motivate myself to get up early and climb into a tree every day.
I haven't hunted as much as I had hoped and that is certainly due to the lack of deer here in eastern Cass County. While there are deer being harvested in my area, the numbers are way down. I stopped at Scott's Deer Processing in Jones and he said that his numbers are certainly down from previous years. He did have a few in the cooler and some ready to smoke.

In summer 2013, about 5,000 catfish will earn release from federal prison in Terre Haute.
Thats right, catfish.
In a partnership between the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, inmates at Terre Hautes Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) will raise channel catfish for DNRs new urban fishing program and walleyes for selected northern Indiana lakes.
The cooperative project serves two purposesincreasing fishing opportunities for Indiana anglers and providing education and long-term training for inmates.
