Selke, Commissioner, Minnesota Dept. of Conservation Minnesota needs no other press agent than the invitation and promise of 10,000 lakes-11,007 lakes to be exact, 25,000 miles of streams and water- ways, and headwaters of the Mississippi. We offer you the matchless climate of Minnesota summertime — the hospitality of the good people of our state—churches for your Sunday wor- ship during your sojourn with us—and hospitals of world renown for your every medical need. We offer you the scenic wonders of our State Parks—the breathtaking beauty of the North Shore Drive—the canoe trails of the Roadless Wilder- ness area—incomparable Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods—the tum- bling cascades of the Temperance and the Baptism—the much visited White- water area—the charming peace and quiet of southern Minnesota lakes— and the far-reaches of rolling prairies and fertile acres stretching into the pine forests and iron ranges of the North. We offer you a vacation designed for everyone—the family group or the most rugged individualist can find the proper outdoor setting. Modern cabins, trailer camps, resort hotels, or camping out in a pitched tent on the bank of some lake or stream are your vacation privileges. We offer you the opportunity to fish our lakes and streams, the diver- sified fishing offered by pan-fish, brook trout, and walleyes, northerns and muskies, and the counter-part of deep sea fishing in angling for lake trout on Lake Superior. We are proud of our Minnesota fishing. Fish and Wildlife Service tells us we have more licensed fishermen than any other state in the nation. On my desk is a report, fantastic but true, of possibly the most phenomenal muskie fishing of modern times. These are the facts. In two days last summer on Leech Lake 51 big muskies were brought into the landing at Federal Dam alone, and within two weeks 200 silver muskies were reported taken, from minnow-sized 18 pounders, to the larger 40 pounders. Minnesota has much to offer. We offer you Minnesota as a place to live and work and play. Once again we extend to you the welcome of the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Link your future with Minnesota. Water is our heritage. Water is our destiny. RULES FOR WATER SAFETY WHILE FISHING By Alfred Nelson, Bureau of Information, Minnesota Department of Conservation Each year several dozen fishermen are the victims of water accidents. Most, if not all, could have been prevented by the practice of a few com- mon sense safety rules. When using a boat for fishing, there are several activities which interfere with fishing and, therefore, may be the cause of an accident. The operation of the outboard motor or rowing with oars, han- dling of the anchor and moving about in the boat while trying to fish, increase the chances of falling out or tipping the boat over. Any one of these hazards is considerably increased by the number of people in a boat. Fishing from the shore, dock or breakwater or some such structure also has its hazards that should be constantly watched. 2 Ninety to 99 per cent of the accidents could be avoided if the following rules are carefully observed: 1. A boat rented from a boat livery should be marked with the number of passengers and should be sound and sea-worthy. Any fisherman is wise to check the boat carefully and never load it with more than the number specified. 2. Even though all people in a boat may be excellent swimmers, it is common sense to carry a safety belt or cushion for each. 3. If it is absolutely necessary to change positions, be sure that everyone cooperates by keeping low in the boat and watching the balances; it is better not to shift places once you are away from shore. 4. No one should stand up to cast, pull in a big fish, pull in the anchor, lift the minnow bucket or try to reach something that has fallen overboard. Such action is an invitation to trouble. 5. Unless you are thoroughly familiar with wind and weather ac- tions on the lake so that you know what is dangerous, it is best to move towards shore at the first sign of an approaching storm. 6. If something happens to swamp the boat so that the boat begins to fill with water, remember that the boat will sink just so far and it is possible to be safe by staying with the boat. The same thing applies if the boat is capsized and overturned. People have been rescued one, two, and three hours after clinging to an overturned boat; but many have drowned by leaving a boat in an attempt to swim to the nearest shore. An overturned boat will float and usually drift toward shore or quiet water and it is a good rule never to leave the boat under such situations. 7. A considerable number of accidents have occurred when the anchor rope or the fishline becomes fouled on the outboard motor. Attempts to pull up the motor or reach overboard to untangle the line have been the end for some fishermen. 8. There are several hazards when fishing from shore; wading out too far and falling into a drop-off; slippery and insecure foot- ing on the bank or rocks or structures; and stumbling over ob- jects which causes a fall into the water. The very large majority of water fatalities have occurred by violating the above safety rules. It should be no hardship or curtailment of fishing pleasure to remember and follow safety rules. Therefore, in the excitement and pleasure of being out-of-doors, riding the waves of one of Minnesota's sky-blue lakes and experiencing the thrill of pulling in your limit of fight- ing fish, do not forget that a single moment of thoughtlessness or careless- ness may end it all for you and others in a boat with you. Nothing can justify the lack of common sense safety precautions. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CARE AND PRESERVATION OF FISH FOR FOOD USE By Hjalmar 0. Swenson, Supervisor, Bureau of Fisheries, Minnesota Division of Game and Fish When the fish is intact with head, tail and entrails still attached, the fish is whole or in the round. 8 A drawn fish has been cut down the center of the belly and the entrails removed. A dressed fish has the scales, entrails, fins, head and tail removed. Fish should be packed in ice as soon as possible after they are caught if they are to be shipped or transported any great distance. Check your fishing synopsis for information on shipping. Inquire locally for freezing and packing service. Scaling is done by holding the fish firmly with one hand and scraping the scales off with a knife or a fish scaler. The head is removed by cutting behind the gill cover. The pectoral or front fins can be removed with the head. The dorsal fin is removed by cuts down by each side of it and a pull forward. Filleting is done by cutting with a sharp, thin knife down to the back- bone from behind the head and along the backbone to the tail. The opera- tion is repeated to remove the other side. The ribs can be removed easily with a sharp knife. The fillets may be skinned by laying them skin down, the tail toward the operator, on the edge of a table. A cut is made down to the skin close to the end of the fillet. Holding on to the tail end of the skin, the operator turns the edge of the knife toward the head and pushes the knife along the skin. After dressing the fish, they should be washed thoroughly in cold water. Steaks are cross sections of fish—a dressed fish cut at right angles. Suggestions for the Care and Preservation of Fish for Mounting Purposes Care should be taken to protect the scales and skin of the fish. The fish should be wrapped in cloth as soon as possible, packed in ice and taken to a taxidermist. They may be frozen. CARE OF FISHERMEN AND FISH By Dr. John B. Moyle, Supervisor, Fisheries Research Unit, Bureau of Fisheries, Minnesota Division of Game and Fish Fish hooks will catch both fish and fishermen, so here are a few hints that may save you and your friends from inconvenience or even injury. Always carry a good wire-cutting pliers in your tackle box. If clothing or flesh is hooked beyond the barb, shove the hook through and cut off the barb with the pliers.

  • Zumbro River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan
    Greater Zumbro River Watershed Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan Waterside Chats Summary Summary The Greater Zumbro River Watershed Partnership hosted “Waterside Chats” in three communities throughout the watershed in October and November 2019. Waterside Chats were held on October 24th, 2019 at the Zumbro Valley Recreation Club in Mantorville, November 7th, 2019 at the Community Center in Mazeppa and November 14th, 2019 at the Sportsman’s Club in Lake City. The public was asked to attend the Waterside Chats to learn about the issues that had been identified by local partners and to provide feedback with their local knowledge of the watershed. Each Waterside Chat began with an overview presentation by the local SWCD or County Staff which included a summary of the One Watershed, One Plan program and plan development process, a summary of what has been accomplished, and information on how the public can participate. Following the overview, Barr Engineering summarized the priority resources and issues that had been identified in local and state plans, studies, reports, state agency feedback, and resident surveys. Initial results of the prioritization of these issues identified by a survey of watershed residents and ranked by the policy committee, planning workgroup and technical advisory group was also shared to aid in the table conversations (see figure 1 below). Following the presentation, attendees were broken into small groups. Each small group discussed a series of questions to provide their input and feedback on the list of priority issues to be addressed in the 10-year scope of the plan. Comments were captured by a facilitator from the planning partnership, summarized, and reported out to the large group.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • A Review of Secchi Transparency Trends in Minnesota Lakes
    Hennepin County This county-based case study was developed in support of a report entitled “A review of transparency trends in Minnesota lakes.” It is one of several county-based case studies, which provide a brief lake-by-lake description of transparency and TP trends and potential reasons for the observed trends. Corresponding transparency (R-generated seasonal Kendall with median, max, and min for each year) and summer-mean TP graphs for each lake are included following the lake-by-lake descriptions. Further details on these charts and overall trend assessments, are found in the report cited above. Hennepin County had 19 lakes with significant trends. Of these, 14 had increasing transparency and five were decreasing. Eurasian water milfoil was a common exotic among these lakes and was present in 13 lakes. In most cases, confirmation dated to the late 1980s and mid 1990s. Zebra mussels have been present in Lake Minnetonka since about 2010. In general, there was good correspondence between transparency and TP trends for 13 of 14 lakes with increasing transparency. Of the five lakes with decreasing transparency, there was an increase in TP over time in four. Summary comments were derived from TMDL reports, communication with MPCA project managers, and local resource managers including Three Rivers Park District (TRPD; Rich Brasch and Brian Vlach). Increasing transparency Lake Calhoun is a large, deep lake located in Minneapolis and is the focal point for the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park. It exhibits a significant increase in transparency based on a continuous record from 1988-2014. These data are augmented by sporadic measures dating to 1971.

Wolf Lake Coalition to press Provincial Candidates and Leaders Wednesday, 28 May 2014 20:12 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 28, 2014 Wolf Lake Coalition to press provincial candidates’ and leaders’ commitment to protecting world’s largest old-growth red pine forest. North Bay — As the provincial election nears its climax, a coalition of 30 businesses and organizations says the time is now for candidates and party leaders to commit to protecting the world‘s largest remaining stand of old-growth red pine. The Wolf Lake Coalition is using a variety of approaches to seek support from candidates in three ridings and the party leaders for protecting the old-growth forest surrounding Wolf Lake. The forest, located in Greater Sudbury, is part of the Temagami region renowned for its forests, lakes, wildlife and diverse recreational and ecotourism opportunities. Though slated to become part of a network of protected areas, mineral claims and leases have blocked the transfer of the lands into the park system. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines has failed to seize past opportunities to let the claims and leases expire, as promised.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary During its fifth full year of operations in fiscal year 2007-08, the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) took on new challenges and continued to register fresh successes in meeting its goals of improving North Carolina’s environment while facilitating responsible economic growth for the state and its residents. EEP continued to collaborate with federal, state and local governments, contractors and willing landowners to provide goods and services, basing its work on a solid foundation of watershed plan- ning that goes beyond mere environmental permitting and compliance. The initiative also extended its record of carrying out its mission without a single transportation-project delay due to the lack of mitigation, helping to move forward more than $4.8 billion in transportation-infrastructure im- provements since becoming operational in 2003. Key developments in FY 2007-08 included: • Responding to changes to federal rules guiding aquatic-resource mitigation. Under the leadership of the Governor’s office, N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and EEP petitioned the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in late 2007 to promote in- lieu fee programs such as EEP as a method to providing third-party mitigation for public- and pri- vate-sector development. The new rule, which became effective in June of 2008, gave recognition to EEP’s unique national status and maintained ILFs as a viable option. The rule will require EEP to make operational adjustments and the details of these changes are being evaluated.

  • 2007 MPCA Metro Lakes PFC Fish Data – Additional 20 Lakes January 28, 2008
    Update: Urban Lakes PFCs Study January 29, 2008 The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has completed analysis of additional data from a study of PFCs in fish in Twin Cities-area fishing lakes. The MPCA began the survey in April 2007 after finding relatively high levels of PFOS in Lake Calhoun fish in Minneapolis last spring. The latest findings represent another 381 fish taken from 20 lakes and two new river reaches. (The first results were released in August 2007.) The findings show a mix of results, from elevated levels of PFOS to no detection. However fish from several lakes had levels high enough to possibly be of concern. These lakes include Lake Johanna (Arden Hills), Cedar (Minneapolis), Harriet, Hiawatha, Jane, Keller, Powers, Red Rock and Tanners. For example, fish from Lake Johanna have levels similar to those previously found in fish from Lake Calhoun and Lake Elmo. Fish from a number of lakes or rivers in the survey show little or no trace of PFOS, including Cedar (Scott County), Centerville, Colby, Green Mountain, Hydes, Independence, Nokomis, Peltier, Upper Prior, Sarah, Silver, and the Mississippi River at Brainerd. The MPCA urban lakes study will be complete after results from Lake Minnetonka and Lake Josephine come in later this winter. Certified analysis can take several months due to the number of parameters included and the fact that only a few labs in North America can analyze PFCs in fish tissues. Fish were collected over the summer by PCA and DNR crews and analyzed for 13 different PFC compounds. Lakes were selected based on higher fishing pressure and prevalence of species such as bluegill and bass, which have shown relatively higher concentrations of PFOS.
