State weighs changes for new waterfowling season
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources recently held a series of meetings throughout the state to discuss proposed changes for the 2006-2007 waterfowling season. After weighing the input, the DNR is recommending "...waterfowl hunting dates and waterfowl hunting zone lines for the next five years that reflect an extensive review of scientific data, waterfowl hunter survey data and comments from sporting organizations, waterfowl hunters and other constituents during the last eight months," IDNR Acting Director Sam Flood said, adding that the state's proposals include: An elimination of Canada goose hunting harvest quotas in Illinois beginning this fall. 79-day Canada goose seasons in the North and Central Zones and a 56-day. Canada goose season in the South Zone with a daily limit of two geese in all zones.
Catch a tagged trout and have the chance to be a millionaire
Labor Day Weekend, visitors to Mammoth Lakes, Calif. will be able to enjoy live bluegrass, country and classical music, a kids' fishing pond, kids' fishing games, T-shirt painting, trout cooking demonstrations, the Festival of Fine Art, and the second annual Million Dollar Trout Competition, which will be held on Sept. 2-3-4.
Mammoth Lakes is located just off of U.S. 395, about 120 miles south of Carson City and about 40 miles north of Bishop.
That Million Dollar Trout Competition is produced by the Town of Mammoth Lakes in co-operation with Mono County Tourism, the Mammoth Art Guild, and the Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game.
If you like to fish, all you have to do is pay $25 to enter that competition and try to catch a tagged trout at a number of different locations in that general area of California.
Who cares about the weather when a fish is on the line?
Dangerous Dan Bloomquist will not like reading about himself on the outdoor page, despite the fact that he fishes religiously and sometimes appreciates a tale about the ways of angling. Truth is tales aren't really Dan's speed, he'd much rather read 'how to' books on casting, study text books on knot tying or peruse a collection of effective midge patterns for the lower Wisconsin River. Fishing is serious business for Dan, he knows the more he understands about fishing the more successful hell be. And it's not so much that Dan will be angry about seeing his name here he's not quite that dangerous he is quiet and modest and uneasy about any notoriety that might come his way because of his being featured in the newspaper. So, knowing that, let us proceed with our story about Dan, we'll deal with the fallout later.
