What's New?
There’s something about early spring tournaments in Northern Indiana as you never quite know what you’re going to get. Between the weather, water conditions, and how fast things can change this time of year, every decision feels magnified.
It took big bags to land a top check in the Michiana Fishing League Tournament on Lake of the Woods in Bremen, Ind. last weekend.

Drought, Weather Affecting Bass Patterns
- Details
By Kevin VanDam
Kevin VanDamThe nation is in a severe drought and it’s affecting the lakes around southern Michigan.
We’ve been dealing with falling lake levels and a lack of sufficient rainfall for several weeks now. Farmers are still irrigating heavily and the bottom is falling out of the water table which also affects our lakes. The water table at my house fell 1½ feet over the past week!
In the meantime our fish are losing valuable shallow water habitat. You can still catch some fish shallow, but the bigger fish are still deeper.
Everything is getting stressed and the fish are starting to show it.
EHD Spreads in Michigan
- Details
Reports of dead or dying deer continue to pour into southern Michigan DNR offices.
So far, Berrien, Cass and St. Joseph counties have escaped the worst of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) while counties farther north and east have not.
As of last Friday, more than 1,700 dead deer have been reported throughout the Lower Peninsula the past few months.
Northern Indiana continues to be EHD free, according to district biologist Linda Byer, who said she’s received no calls about EHD outbreaks in her region.
