FMany boaters are hesitant to do more to care for a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD) than occasionally spraying it down with water. This streamlined approach is often due to a fear of damaging the life jacket. But the truth is that proper cleaning actually helps maintain the integrity of a life jacket and can extend its life.
Fourteen Michiana Singles anglers found good fishing on the St. Joseph River at Maggies Landing last Thursday despite muddy water and strong current.

Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation StampThe Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, or "Duck Stamp," will increase in price for the first time in 24 years.
The cost will go from $15 to $25. The increase adjusts for inflation over the last 24 years. Several conservation organizations, including Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl, support the increase.
The 2005 National Duck Hunter Survey showed that 65 percent of U.S. duck hunters spent more than $250 per season.

Indiana biologist Jamie Pejza shows off a Lake of Woods walleye netted during survey.The St. Joseph River isn’t the only burgeoning walleye fishery on South Bend’s doorstep.
Indiana biologists say a pretty good one continues to show promise at Lake of the Woods in Bremen.
Biologist Tom Bacula spent a few days last month sampling the lake’s walleye population with a netting project and came away pretty satisfied.
“I am pretty happy with the catch of 15- to 18-inch walleyes we saw,” said Bacula. “They looked very healthy and had great color. We didn’t get any of the giants I’ve heard anglers talk about, but some nice keeper fish.”
The DNR gang set fine mesh traps on sand bars in water 5 to 7 feet deep then checked them daily.
