National Geographic Homemade Geographica Book
Image by retro traveler
Growing up, I loved reading National Geographic Magazines. When I would get a new issue, I’d always turn to the Geographica section which reported on the newest geographic news around the world. Before having to donate my large collection of issues to the local library, I had carefully compiled all of the Geographica sections into a homemade book. The book included every Geographica from October, 1988 (the first) to September, 1996.

Net repair and maintenance building – Edisen Fishery at Isle Royale National Park, Michigan
Image by Corvair Owner
This building was used to maintain the nets that Pete Edisen used when fishing.
The Edisen Fishery is a restored site where the National Park Service provides information about the commercial fishing activities that once occured on the island. Of over 50 such installations, this fishery is the last one remaining.
From the State of Michigan Historic Preservation Website:
The Edisen Fishery, located on the southern shore of the Rock Harbor in the Isle Royale National Park, is a commercial fishing complex of seven buildings. A single-story log fish house, a similar net house, sleeping cabins, privy, chicken coop, docks, and fishing equipment have been well maintained. All buildings are of log construction, covered by ship lap or tongue- and-groove board sheathing. A dory-style whale boat with an outboard rudder and a decked-over bow docked nearby is an integral part of the complex
.
The Edisen Fishery is the best continuously used example of a commercial fishery at Isle Royale. The structures and variety of fishing equipment in the complex represent the development of commercial fishing techniques on Lake Superior since the beginning of the twentieth century. Constructed between 1895 and 1934 by local fishermen, the buildings have been maintained with locally available materials. Year-round residents Peter and Laura Edisen added buildings as needed, based on strictly functional designs. While both Pete and Laura are gone now, the fishery is still operational and currently open to visitors.

Fishing in Acadia National Park
Posted by: | Comments
Freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities abound in Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. Lakes and ponds can have several species of freshwater game fish, including trout, landlocked salmon, smallmouth and largemouth bass, and other species. Ocean species include mackerel, bluefish, and striped bass.
Freshwater fishing requires a State of Maine fishing license, as determined by state law. A license is not required to fish in the ocean.
FRESHWATER FISHING
The freshwater fishing season in Maine is generally April through September. Check the State of Maine Open Water Fishing Regulations on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website for exact dates.
During July and August, trout and salmon are found deep in the cooler waters of lakes and ponds on Mount Desert Island. Special fishing gear, such as lead core line or a down-rigger, will greatly increase chances of hooking a salmon or trout in the summer. In the cooler seasons, trout and salmon can be caught readily using common methods. Warm-water species can be caught throughout the season using common methods.
Regulations Portions of lake and pond shorelines may be privately owned. Please respect private property.
Several ponds and lakes on the island are public drinking water supplies where swimming, wading, and pets are prohibited. Please follow posted regulations.
Eating freshwater fish containing mercury can be harmful if consumed in quantities. For safe-eating guidelines, consult the State of Maine Open Water Fishing Regulations on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website.
Cold-Water Fishing
Motors over 10 horsepower are prohibited on: Eagle Lake landlocked salmon brook trout lake trout Echo Lake brook trout landlocked salmon Jordan Pond landlocked salmon lake trout Lower Hadlock Pond brook trout brown trout sunfish white perch Upper Hadlock Pond brook trout
Internal Combustion engines are prohibited on: Bubble Pond brook trout Witch Hole Pond brook trout
No motors are permitted on: Half Moon Pond brook trout Upper Breakneck Pond brook trout Lower Breakneck Pond brook trout
Boaters: Clean your boat before you float. Watch out for hitchhiking plants on boats and equipment. A single invasive plant or plant fragment can infest an entire lake or stream. Dispose of plants on high, dry land away from lakes and ponds.
Fishing Licenses State of Maine fishing licenses are required for Maine residents 16 years or older and non-residents 12 years or older. Fees vary based on resident/non-resident status, age, and length of license. State of Maine freshwater fishing licenses may be purchased at:
Town of Mt. Desert 21 Sea Street Northeast Harbor 207-276-5531
Town of Southwest Harbor 26 Village Green Way Southwest Harbor 207-244-5404
Town of Tremont 119 Tremont Road Tremont 207-244-7204
Paradise True Value 31 Holland Avenue Bar Harbor 207-288-4995
Wal-Mart 461 High Street Ellsworth 207-667-6780 Willey’s Sport Center 248 State Street Ellsworth 207-667-2511
Licenses may also be purchased online through the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s on-line hunting & fishing licensing system.
Ice Fishing The ice fishing season generally lasts from January 1 to March 31. Check the State of Maine Ice Fishing Regulations handbook for exact dates and possession and size limits. Many of the larger ponds and lakes in the park are popular locations for ice fishing. Please be cautious on frozen bodies of water and ensure that ice thickness is sufficient to support your weight.
More Information The State of Maine Open Water Fishing Regulations on the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website ( http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/index.htm ) contains information about fishing regulations, including length, bag, and possession limits; safe eating guidelines; opportunities for children, and more.
For detailed information about fishing in Maine, visit the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website.
OCEAN FISHING
A license is not required to fish in the ocean. There are, however, safety concerns when ocean fishing:
* Be cautious of surf conditions. Sudden waves can wash the shore and sweep you out to sea. * Watch your footing; seaweed and algae-covered rocks are extremely slippery.
Ocean fishing areas in the park include:
* Sargent Drive, Somes Sound Mackerel and bluefish (when running, periodically in mid-July, August, September) striped bass (July, August, September). * Frazer Point, Schoodic Peninsula Mackerel (when running, periodically in mid-July, August, September).

Fishing on Bighorn National Recreation
Posted by: | Comments
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area is an amazing contrast of high desert, deep lake and shallow river, mountains and canyons, primitive backcountry and modern technology.
Whether you choose to fish from a boat or from the shoreline, Bighorn Lake provides abundant opportunities to catch numerous species of fish while being surrounded by some of the most beautiful outdoor scenery in the northwest United States. The information given below will give you a good idea of the opportunities for fishing either from the shoreline or a boat.
Shore Fishing
The Wyoming end of the lake has over 50 miles of accessible shore line including the Yellowtail Wildlife Unit. These shore lines are close to nearby roads. Thye also have ample driftwood for shore line evening fires if needed. Please check about any fire restrictions that may be in effect during high fire danger periods. There is limited shore fishing in the Montana end of Bighorn Lake.
When shore fishing on the bottom of the lake a heavy fishing pole rigged with 20 pound plus line is best. Bait can be:
* minnows
* crawfish
* worms
* cut bait
* artificial bait and plastics
When bait casting use a lighter rig with spinners, crankbaits, minnows, worms and artificial baits.
During the warmer months please be aware that rattlesnakes and scorpions occupy the area and take proper precautions. Please remove all trash when you leave your shore fishing area.
Boat Fishing
Bighorn Lake is over 70 miles in length and provides thousands of acres of wonderful boat fishing. The lake is between 70 and 450 feet deep in the Montana end. The Wyoming end is 70 feet deep at the state line, 30 feet deep in Horseshoe Bend, gradually becoming shallower going south. South of the causeway at Highway 14A, the river channel expands onto the flats at full lake.
There are several ways to fish this lake:
1. trolling using crankbaits, bottom bouncers, spinners and planer boards
2. casting using crankbaits, worms, spinners and plastic jigs
3. jigging using weighted jigs tipped with a minnow, crawfish, leech, cut bait or artificial/plastic bait
You may want to use an electric trolling motor for jigging to keep your boat on the hot fishing spot. The use of a small gas outboard motor is useful for trolling and as backup should your main motor fail.
Things to Remember
Remember when in the canyon portion stay with your boat if you have engine trouble; do not try to climb the canyon walls to get help. Most of the shore line in the southern portion of the lake is suitable for beaching your boat if needed.
Some fishermen like to use an anchor or windsock to keep the boat in position when fishing the south portion of Bighorn Lake. Small boats or jet boats work well south of the causeway in the shallow water and the river channel. These can be launched from the Kane, South Causeway and ML ramps except during the ice period.
Horseshoe Bend Fishing Dock
At Horseshoe Bend beach is a large floating fishing dock that has pole holders, benches and a handicap ramp. This is a great place to fish for all the species of fish in the lake. One can drive right up to the walkway in your vehicle for easy access. The catching is usually good from this dock!
Pond Fishing
The Yellowtail Unit has ponds for fishing too. Pond 5 and Cemetery pond provide shore and small boat or canoe fishing. You can catch large mouth bass and trout in Pond 5. Cemetery pond provides bullhead, crayfish and cat fishing.
Fishing For Carp
The large carp population in Bighorn Lake and the other ponds provides a great opportunity for bow and fly fishing. This can be done by wadding in the shallows or with a push boat setup. Carp are a supreme fly-rod challenge equal to or excelling trout or bone fish according to many fly fishing magazines. Each year many carp fly fishing tournaments are held with the number of fishermen competing increasing!

Fishing at Isle Royale National Park Michigan
Posted by: | Comments
Isle Royale National Park is located in the northwest corner of Lake Superior. This Wilderness Island contains a road-less backcountry which prohibits the use of all wheeled vehicles and devices (except wheelchairs). Visitors traveling to this Island paradise must arrive by boat or seaplane. The transportation services depart from Houghton, Michigan, Copper Harbor, Michigan and Grand Portage, Minnesota. Vehicular parking is available at all departure locations.
Only 1-day fishing licenses are available on the Island. Visitors wanting a longer license need to purchase them on the mainland prior to departure.
General possession notes
All fish in your possession count toward your limit, regardless of where and when you caught them. All fish in your possession must be measurable and identifiable by species. This requirement will be met by leaving the head and skin on.
Interior Lakes
A fishing license is NOT required. However, Michigan size and possession limits apply.
Method of Take
Use only artificial lures. “Artificial lure” means any lure that is manmade, in imitation of or as a substitute for natural bait, used to attract fish for the purpose of taking them, and shall include artificial flies. Live, dead or preserved bait or organic food may not be used or possessed at any time. Digging for bait is not allowed.
Season:
May 15 to October 31
Minimum Size Limits:
Walleye – 15″
Northern Pike – 24″
Possession Limit:
five (5) fish in any combination
Note: size limits in the interior lakes focus on leaving the smaller fish. Smaller fish are needed by natural predators, such as eagles, osprey, loons, and otter, for whom fish is a major part of their diet.
Lake Superior Waters (within park boundaries)
A Michigan Fishing License is required. One-day licenses are available only at the Rock Harbor Lodge office or the Windigo store. We recommend obtaining your fishing license prior to leaving the mainland.
Species:
Trout and Salmon
Season:
April 15 to October 31
Minimum Size Limit:
10″
Possession Limit:
Five (5) in any combination, but no more than three (3) of any one species.
Coaster Brook Trout:
Lake Superior Waters (extend 4.5 miles out from the island)
Catch and release only for all brook trout, including all bays and harbors.
Inland Waters
Catch and release only in all streams and Hidden Lake. Artificial lures and barbless hooks only in all streams and Hidden Lake
Disposal of Fish Remains
At Rock Harbor, use the fish cleaning station. At Windigo, bag your fish remains in plastic and put in trash cans. In other areas, including interior or shore-based backcountry campsites:
-Clean fish at least 100′ away from docks and campsites
-Cut fish remains (skeletons and heads, too) into small pieces (4″ or smaller)
-Place the remains on shore at least 100′ away from docks and campgrounds, between the waterline and the vegetation OR
-Dump remains in deep (50′ or deeper) waters of Lake Superior, outside of protected bays or harbors
Please resist the temptation to throw pieces of fish remains to the gulls. Often these pieces of fish end up rotting in shallow water. One purpose of these guidelines is to prevent stinking fish remains from ending up on the lake bottom near campgrounds and docks. Please do not clean any fish directly on docks. Thoroughly scrub up and rinse away all blood and slime from any on-shore surfaces.
Fishery Conservation
Keep in mind that the larger fish are the ones that produce offspring. Releasing larger fish and keeping only smaller ones helps insure that there will be plenty of fish in the future. Leaving the larger fish and taking those smaller than 28 inches helps insure that there will be plenty of fish in the future. Smaller fish are also better-tasting, so consider taking pictures of the large fish, then carefully releasing them. Instead of killing trophy fish, please consider modern graphite mounts. The park encourages fishermen to catch only what they plan to keep or eat and then stop fishing and enjoy the many other attractions of Isle Royale.
Transporting Fish to the Mainland
A permit from the Michigan DNR is required to ship fish on a commercial vessel. The permit is good for a daily possession limit only and may only be used once a year. Fish must be claimed by someone at the end destination and cannot be stored. Permits may be obtained by mail or phone from the Michigan DNR. Fish may not be transported in coolers of boats riding on the deck of the Ranger III. Ask the ship’s purser how to properly transport fish.
