Jarrid Houston Column: Some Charters Near Apostle Islands Guarantee Coho Catches

Good day, angling nation. In case you have not noticed, the weather is finally fitting the mold of conventional spring. Which, of course, can be a crazy deal in our area of the world. This last week we have had thunderstorms, rain, cold, warm and yes, even snow accumulations.

Remember, if you have not got your updated fishing license, you might want to check that off the "to-do" list, as well as other spring chores like updating boat registrations, checking fishing equipment inventory, and truck, trailer and boat spring maintenance. We are only weeks away from the first crack general fishing opener, and we are so pumped.

Let's dive into the here and now:

Lake Superior continues to host many anglers in many areas of the lake. Coho salmon are still going strong with trolling bites. Some charters around the Apostle Islands area are even offering guaranteed limits of coho salmon catches. Most of the schools are stacked up pretty good and continue to chase the shallow banks and river mouth areas.

Trolling bright-colored stick baits is still a great way to catch the fish, but many anglers are now starting to switch it up to peanut flies run behind smaller flashers. The most important tactic is to locate the fish. Then, for the most part, you will be in business.

As usual, don't be surprised to catch a few bonus fish along the way. It is common to pick up a brown or a laker when chasing salmon. This bite will stay steady and will even pick up as we climb further into spring.

As for the smelt, we are finally seeing a couple swarms showing up in the later hours. Not the mother-load yet, but as we have been saying every day, anytime now. The males will account for most of the early runs, and I forecast that these next 10 days should be good smelt action.

Stream anglers continue to get a few river-run steelhead, but conditions continue to be a little challenging. The last couple weeks, the best bet is to stake out a river corner or the backside of a structure. I like to work current seams and slack water or swirling eddies. Hardware is a great, easy way to work the water, but some will argue you are better off drifting floats over flies. The good news is we have got some rain to help oxygenate the waters.

The St. Louis River continues to be on the silent end, except for some Department of Natural Resources studies taking place upstream. We have not had a chance to chase the early-season panfish, but that is still an option.

On the inland area waters, most lakes are now completely ice-free in and around the Arrowhead region, anyway. On the Canadian border waters, ice still exists, but the breakaway period is certainly underway. Every day, new northern lakes are becoming 100% ice-free.

We are also hearing of the DNR working spring walleye egg stripping. This will continue with magic water temperatures hitting the perfect range.

Early-season pan-fishing is a fun way to pass some time before the general walleye opener. Another option in Wisconsin's inland waters is to chase the catch-and-release bass. Some very nice fish can be caught this time of year.

koala animal :: Article Creator Grim Statistics On Koala Survival Odds Records of koala admissions to veterinary hospitals in South East Queensland show euthanasia was the most common outcome, according to University of Queensland research. The research was published in Society and Animals. Ph.D. Candidate Renae Charalambous and colleagues at UQ's Faculty of Science analyzed the records of more than 50,000 koala sightings and hospital admissions between 1997 and 2019. "Diseases like chlamydia make up almost 30 percent of vet hospital admissions, followed by a multitude of threats stemming from habitat loss, including dog attack and motor vehicle strike," Ms. Charalambous said. "Only 25 percent of koalas rescued and admitted to hospital went on to be released into suitable habitat. "Many of the animals died before arriving at a vet hospital and those that did make it were often euthanized on the grounds of welfare,...
