 Delta Waterfowl Press Release |
| For Immediate Release…Editors: For more information, contact Delta Waterfowl Scientific Director Dr. Frank Rohwer at 701-471-6185, or see www.deltawaterfowl.org.Bag Limit Could be Reduced to One Bird for Upcoming Season
Bismarck, N.D–American waterfowl hunters are one step closer to facing a reduced scaup bag limit for the upcoming hunting season. That’s because the Service Regulations Committee of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) approved a harvest strategy last week that paves the way for the bag limit reduction. The move was opposed by Delta Waterfowl, the state wildlife agencies in Louisiana, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, as well as the Mississippi and Central Flyway Councils and the California Waterfowl Association. “The decision is very disheartening, but not all hope is lost,” said Delta President Rob Olson, noting that the scaup bag limit for Mississippi and Central Flyway hunters could be reduced from two birds to one. “A final decision to reduce the scaup bag limit won’t be decided until later this summer, but this move does send a clear message to scaup hunters that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is intent on reducing the bag limit, despite strong opposition from Delta and others. We believe the harvest model used by the Service may be inadequate and should be fully reexamined before any reduction in the scaup bag limit occurs.” –> Sportfishing Trade Show Sold Out for Seventh Straight Year (ASA)gengberg June 30th, 2008 For Immediate Release Mary Jane Williamson, Communications director, x227, mjwilliamson@asafishing.org ASA to unveil top 10 innovative fishing products at ICAST 2008 Produced by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA), the 2008 show floor is sold out for the seventh year in a row with over 431 exhibitors filling over 1,350 booths across 350,000 square feet of floor space.

National Wildlife Federation Will Release Heavy Rainfall and Flooding Report on 7-1-08gengberg June 30th, 2008 Press Teleconference Advisory: National Wildlife Federation, Iowa Wildlife Federation and Southern Illinois University Connecting the Dots: Midwest Flooding, Global Warming, Local Column River Currents 6-29-08gengberg June 29th, 2008 Recently, I’ve mentioned that many of us who live on the Lower Wisconsin River, west of the Prairie du Sac Dam, where lucky that the river’s waters receded before reaching our homes. Many, who live farther down the river, did not have the same good fortune and individuals from Mazomanie to the Mississippi River experienced severe flooding and considerable damage to homes, businesses, and personal property. From the very first stages of flooding to the massive clean-up left after the river receded, a local group, Friends of the Lower Wisconsin Riverway or FLOW, has helped many and played a major role in getting people back on their feet. Local Column River Currents 6-24-08gengberg June 28th, 2008 This is the time of the year when many groups, organizations, and clubs are having their annual fishing events trying to get children outdoors and involved in a “healthy” and family orientated sport like fishing. Various children’s events that I’ve been involved in locally include; the “Family Fishing Day” in Mazomanie, Saturday Flood Assistance 6-28-08gengberg June 28th, 2008 Volunteers can come and go whenever it works best for them of course, but we’ll be starting between 8:30 and 9:00 am at the corner of Hwy 23 and County G, (just a bit North of Hwy 14).

BALLA & BYRNE CAPTURE DIVISION TEAM OF THE YEAR TITLE
– PRESENTED BY MERCURY MOTORS
Oshkosh, WI — Local Wisconsin anglers Randy Seidl (Appleton) and Joe Knowles (Sherwood) proved that a rookie team can step into a big national tournament like the MWC and grab a win from a spectacular field of competitors! Seidl and Knowles landed a second best basket on day one, 19.23 pounds, and the third best basket on day two, 18.97 pounds, to capture the lead and win the Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit tournament, June 21st and 22nd
on Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh. This was not only their first circuit victory, but amazingly, their first MWC tournament. Period. The duo was as shocked as anyone that they actually were being handed the “big check” on stage for $28,600 when it was all over. “We sure didn’t expect this to happen,” shared Randy Seidl. Joe Knowles chimed in, “It’s just unreal. There are a lot of good fishermen in this tournament – and we were fishing with the big boys this time. But hey, we’re locals and maybe we had an edge on this one.” Continue Reading »
Spring Green Flood Assistance 6-27-08gengberg June 27th, 2008 At a Town of Spring Green meeting last night… displaced flood victims requested help with removing their undamaged possessions from their homes this coming Saturday. This area of devastation seems to be absent in the news media, so please share this email with your contacts and other groups you belong to. The plan is to use tractors and trailers to ferry volunteers up to the homes, then load the trailers with salvageable belongings. Volunteers may have to wade through a little water, nothing deeper than regular muck boots can handle though. If you’re not comfortable going into the flooded area… you can stay at the dry end to help transfer stuff to the vehicles that will be hauling it away. Make sure your tetanus shot is up to date, bring your boots and gloves. Bottled water and masks will be provided. Feel free to call my cell phone number with questions or to double-check before you drive out if weather conditions seem questionable. Timm Zumm: 608-575-0325

I will share with you what needs to be done, but everyone is welcome to chime in on how to get it done. If you don’t think you can do something safely… don’t do it!
