  • Mrs. Creek Addict calls out Fishing Jones. Fighting words over fly rod carp. Brother Pete needs to represent.

  • Winona Fly Factory rolls their own. J-dawg over at WFF is using Bics to custom color his deadly fly patterns. Nasty!

  • Invasive Species Alert! Erin and the bitch Snyder over at team Primalfly are moving to FL. Looks like I got some new ditch fishing hook ups in Dixieland.

  • Zebra mussels found downstream of Pelican Lake, now in Lake Lizzie, Otter Tail County, MN. It's only a matter of time before more are discovered downstream, eventually making their way to the Red River and points North.

  3. @Tony: there are plenty of molluscivorous fish in the Pelican/Otter Tail river systems, including species drum, buffalo, white sucker, redhorse, lake sturgeon, and carp. However, it is unlikely that will make a dent in the zebra population since their are so prolific and highly fecund.

  4. True.

    I recall maybe 8 or 9 years ago the Zebras were horrible on the Mississippi, chewed up fishing line something awful.

    Then, I think it was 5 or so years ago, the Zebras had a dramatic downturn in population, at the time molluscivorous fish switching to using Zebras was credited with at lot it. Maybe they found out it was something else later, I dunno.
