 Lake Superior fisheries OK a year after storm | Fish populations in Lake Superior and its surrounding fisheries are
faring much better than expected a year after a major storm dumped up to
10 inches of rain in the Duluth area and sent tons of sediment rushing
into the big lake and its surrounding rivers and streams.
"I'd say the Lake Superior fishery was little affected," said Don
Schreiner, Department of Natural Resources area fisheries supervisor for
Lake Superior. "Fishing this spring has been gangbusters. Lots of lake
trout and coho and chinook salmon are being caught." more...

| Prime beaches along the Lake Erie coast | Seven top beaches, one for every Ohio county bordering Lake Erie:
Maumee Bay State Park
Lake Erie's westernmost beach is also among the most entertaining.
Beach volleyball? Check. Jet Ski rentals? Check. Sand, surf, concerts
and more? Check, check, check, check.
The beach, part of a state resort complex, is also adjacent to a golf
course, hiking trails, a nature center and 120-room lodge. So when you
get bored with the sand -- or the weather turns nasty -- there are lots
of alternative activities close by. more...

| Brown trout stocked in Wisconsin's Lake Superior waters | Lake Superior anglers near Duluth and Superior may soon be catching a
new strain of brown trout. In late May, the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources stocked about 60,000 Seeforellen-strain brown trout in
Lake Superior waters near Superior. The fish were 5 to 6 inches long. The
stocking came in response to anglers who were unhappy that the
Wisconsin DNR had refused to continue stocking Chinook salmon in the
area, said Peter Stevens, supervisor of Lake Superior fisheries for the
DNR. more...

| New Bill Would Be a Boost for America’s Great Lakes | The Great Lakes are a truly great resource. They’re home to more than
300 bird species, including spotted sandpipers and herons that wade in
the coastal marshes, and ospreys and eagles that fish the waters. Muskrats burrow into banks, and wolves, black bears, and moose inhabit wetlands. The lakes hold more
freshwater than anywhere else on earth except the polar ice caps, and
they supply drinking water to 42 million Americans. On June 26, senators
introduced a bill to protect and restore this important region. more...

| Tall ships in Port Dalhousie inspire wannabe pirates | ST. CATHARINES - There's nothing like the sight of varnished teak, polished brass and coiled rigging to bring out the pirate in all of us.
"Look at me, Mom! Pirates do this all the time!" said four-year-old
Liam Semple of Waterloo, hanging from the rigging of the Pride of
Baltimore II, during the two-day 1812 St. Catharines Tall Ships visit in
Port Dalhousie. "Take a picture," he instructed his mother, Roshan Dore
Semple.
But no one looked more pirate-ish Sunday than five-year-old Wolf
Phelps of Fort Erie, who used the occasion of the visit of the Pride of
Baltimore, Unicorn and Lynx to don full pirate garb, including boots,
hat, dreadlocks, and painted-by-mom goatee and mustache.
"He'd go to school like that every day if we let him," said Debra
Phelps, Wolf's mother. Ever since Wolf watched the movie Pirates of the
Caribbean two years ago, he's been digging for treasure in the yard, she
said. more...
