Choosing The Best Bass Fishing Lures
Bass fishing ures come in many different varieties. There are more types of lures for bass fishing than for just about any other kind of freshwater fish. With so many different shapes, styles, sizes, and colors you'd have a hard time trying out all of the options. It would take a long time to use every type of bass fishing lure. While there are many different types, some tend to be better than others. Most bass enthusiasts pick their favorites and stick with them.
Spinnerbait Fishing Tactics for Spotted Bay Bass
Like most fishermen my age I originally learned about spinnerbait fishing for largemouth bass with my Dad. My class room was the back of an aluminum rental boat drifting the brush flats and rocky points of Irvine Lake in Orange County and Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara, CA.
Alaska Fishing Lodge - Bettles Lodge
Often-times we hear people talking about fishing Alaska at certain times of the year. While that may be great for many peoples personal schedule, your trip to Alaska does not have to be limited to windows of time, which is why a year-round Alaska Fishing Lodge like Bettles Lodge is ideal for many fisherman.
Fly Fishing Small Streams
Picture this; you've spent some time hiking into a small stream in
the back country. It's early morning, mist is rising and the midges
that have been swarming around you are breakfast for the small browns
you have come to catch.
Fishing Etiquette 101
The other day I had the chance to take two of my sons fishing. I discovered that one of the local ponds had been stocked the day before with approximately 2200 rainbow trout. All between the 10-12" range. Some even trophy size meaning 12" and above. Needless to say I wasn?t the only one to hear of the stocking. Every local fisherman in the metro area must have been there. It was a complete zoo along the banks of West Salish Pond. Furthermore, I am not sure that any one of them knew anything about proper fishing etiquette.

Committee Holds Earth Day Hearing on Maintaining Public Lands for Hunting, Fishing, Ranching and Small Businesses
Washington, D.C. (Vocus) April 18, 2008 -- With Earth Day just around the corner, the House Committee on Small Business today examined ways to maintain public lands for hunting, fishing, ranching and other small business uses. In 2006, more than 87 million Americans participated in wildlife related recreation ? spending more than $122 billion. Small businesses are principal drivers of this important sector of the economy. At today?s forum, Members of Congress heard from hunting and fishing outfitters and a rancher, who said the Bush Administration?s policies are damaging public lands beyond repair and forcing many ranches and small firms out of business.
?This nation?s public lands belong to every tax-payer. That includes the ranchers and entrepreneurs in the outdoor industry who depend on them to grow our economy. It is essential federal policy take this into account,? said Chairwoman Nydia M. Velázquez.
There are 34 million hunters and anglers in the United States. In 2006 they contributed nearly $77 billion to the U.S. economy.
?Small businesses are a major component of life in rural America. In many instances, they are the only source of local employment. As important as they are to our nation as a whole, entrepreneurs are even more crucial to these communities,? said Chairwoman Velázquez.
Rural small business owners who graze livestock or are in the outdoor industry have seen the number of drilling permits approved by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) quadruple since 1999. Each new drilling site brings a network of roads, pipelines and waste pits to lands controlled by the BLM. Irresponsible management of these projects results in pollution, deforestation and a segmenting of fish and game habitats. That, in turn, undermines the ability of ranchers and small business dependent on tourism to make a living. Witnesses (http://www.house.gov/smbiz/hearings/hearing-04-17-08-public-lands/hearing-04-17-08-public-lands.htm) at the hearing noted they were not opposed to commercial drilling, but that the BLM was not enforcing policies specifically developed to ensure responsible use of the land.
?There are ways to foster economic growth responsibly. That?s what rural small businesses support, and what the BLM is supposed to ensure,? said Chairwoman Velázquez. ?Our public lands are not just beautiful, they are major source of economic strength. We should protect them as such.?
