Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two
Newcomers to Lake Erie walleye fishing from southern Ohio were contacted by State Wildlife Officer Brian Baker, assigned to Lake Erie, at the Huron boat ramp. The group was checked for license and bag limit compliance and found to have caught three walleye on a day when most anglers returned with their limit of six. Officer Baker shared locations and depths where fish were being caught with the anglers and provided data from the Precision Trolling App so the crankbaits the anglers were using would reach the depths where most walleye were being caught. The anglers were grateful for the officer’s help and were excited to get back on the water to put the information to use.
The Bluffton Lions will be counting pedestrians and bikes on village pathways from September 11-17.
The data collected is used when appying for grants to build new pathways.
The volunteer counters will display signs identifying them as Bluffton LIons. Organizers note, "We hope folks will check out the signs before calling the police, who are are aware of the census."
