by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
Let us now return to the
Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in Wisconsin, and cover “Hotspot” number three there. I’ll again note that the two largest verified muskies caught from this log-laden Pond, both over 50-pounds, were caught by women! This second one will likely make us anglers wonder again if we are doing the right things.

Wild pigs are often big, wily and bad-tempered. With no natural predators in Ontario, officials are hoping to stop the species from establishing a breeding population before the province literally goes to the hogs.

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposed plans for clear-cutting near Ena Lake has some cottagers up in arms.
According to the MNRF’s Kenora district management forester Kyle Myschowoda, the new 10-year forest management plan will see several clear-cutting harvest projects undertaken within the region, which is what the MNRF says is best practice for emulating natural forest fire conditions within boreal forest locations.
