Crankin
Late Summer Bigmouth
By Ron Anlauf
There’s no better time than the present to start cranking up late
summer largemouth. Summer heat can slow things down, especially
if you haven’t made the adjustment and picked up the pace. A
crank burned over or through the right cover can appeal to a bass
and its wound up metabolism and get noticed when other methods
come up empty. When it doubt there is no doubt; you might as well
chuck a shallow or deep running crank and see what you can come up
with. |

Early Fall Walleyes Tactics
By Ron Anlauf
Big changes are coming which
can be a real good thing if you’re a walleye angler. It all
starts when schools of walleyes that have been living large on
deeper summer haunts pack it up and make a major change in
location and start showing up on shallower structure like rock and
gravel reefs, as well as weed covered flats. Even before the
infamous fall turnover stirs things up and sets walleyes on their
ears, hot patterns start to set up that are largely overlooked. |

 Revved
Up For Ruffed Grouse
By Ron Anlauf
They’re back, and
that’s good news for us bird hunters. It’s been awhile since
grouse hunting enthusiasts have had much to be excited about but
frankly; it’s time to get wound up a little. Grouse haven’t
been around in enough numbers to make the sport fun, and when
its good it’s as much fun as you can have. The bottom of their
cycle has drug on for what has seemed to be an eternity but
things have definitely turned around. Last season’s action
provided an indication that the numbers have improved and made
it a lot easier to load the dog in the kennel and make the drive
to get to some good grouse habitat.
Pheasants Forever (PF)
strongly supports the Conservation Title in the Farm Bill
passed last week by the U.S. House Ag Committee. PF views the
bill as a strong starting point favorable to America’s farmers,
ranchers, hunters and anglers. The bill (H.R. 2419) extends and
improves significant conservation programs including the
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP),
Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP), and it improves hunter access
and wildlife habitat through the "Open Fields" provision.
