What's New?
As tournament directors put together their schedules for 2026, I’m curious to see if any have the will to at least partially limit the use of forward-facing sonar (FFS).
If you’re geeked up about the ice fishing season, you’ll want to be at ClearH20 Tackle Dec. 12-13.
New Gear
When you’ve spent all day catching fish, you don’t want to spend all night cleaning ‘em. This is why Rapala is constantly innovating and improving its lineup of fillet tools.

More Steelhead Move In; Bucks Are on the Run
- Details
By Louie Stout
Just when we thought the steelhead run might be drawing to a disappointing close, here comes another slug of fish.
Bodine Hatchery Manager Dave Meuninck said about 275 steelhead pushed through the South Bend ladder last week, renewing hope that perhaps a good run might be salvaged after all.
Of the 275 trout recorded going through the ladder from Oct. 23-30, about 40 percent were Michigan’s winter run variety and the rest were Skamania, the latter of which should have been here a month or more ago.
Bonus Licenses Disallowed on Some Indiana Properties
- Details
(Provided by Indiana DNR)
Hunters will not be able to use bonus antlerless deer licenses this year on some DNR-managed properties in northern Indiana because the extra hunting pressure is not needed to control the population at those sites.
The sites are Menominee Wetland Conservation Area (near Plymouth), Maxinkuckee Wetland Conservation Area (near Culver), the Hufford Wildlife Trust Area (south of Monticello), and the Manitou Wetland Conservation Area, including the Judy Burton Nature Preserve and the Bob Kern Nature Preserve (near Rochester).
