IN – Young anglers caught six “Fish of the Year” in 2011
Indiana’s 2011 Fish of the Year contest proves the art of angling has not been lost on our youth.
Fish of the Year recognizes the angler who catches the longest fish of each species tracked. In 2011, anglers submitted entries for 25 species.
Four anglers younger than 18 years old accounted for six wins.
Among the youth winners, 10-year-old Rylan Crockett scored the longest fish, a 33.3-inch channel catfish he caught in Cagles Mill Reservoir in Owen County on cut shad. Rylan caught the channel cat while competing in an Indiana Catfish Association Tournament with his father and grandfather, Brian and Jim Crockett.
Nine-year-old Evan Logan from Columbus was the youngest angler to win 2011 Fish of the Year honors. He tied for first in the bluegill category with an 11-inch specimen from a private pond in Johnson County that he caught using a worm and bobber.

WI – Early Inland Trout Season Opens March 3
Early inland trout season opens March 3 with exceptional fishing prospects on the line
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Anybody with a fishing rod and an itch to get outside will want to take note: the scant snow and poor ice behind a disappointing winter for sportsmen and women have set the stage for what state fisheries biologists say should be a fantastic early trout season opening March 3 on inland waters.
“Unless a major snowstorm or Arctic blast hits our area, anglers could see one of the best early trout season’s on record this spring,” says Heath Benike, Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist based in Eau Claire.
“Trout populations are strong across most trout streams right now and fish should be very active especially from early to late afternoon.”

WI – Ice conditions pose constant threat: Best to stay off
Dodge County weekend snowmobile fatality on lake shows dangers
BEAVER DAM, Wis. — The tragedy in Dodge County Feb. 18 when four snowmobiles drove into open water on Beaver Dam Lake again demonstrates the poor ice conditions all over Wisconsin.
Todd Schaller, recreation safety chief for the Department of Natural Resources, says this season has been anything but a normal Wisconsin winter.
“During a typical Wisconsin winter, poor ice conditions is a big topic early in the winter and late in the season. This year, ice conditions and safety have been the topic for the entire winter,” he says.

Float Plans and Fishing Logs
When I woke up Sunday morning, it was 9°F. I wasn’t going to go fishing, so I decided to watch some of the Sunday morning fishing shows while planning out the day. On one of the shows the host mentioned something about keeping a log book, which reminded me about my New Year’s Resolution.
