PRAIRIE NOTEBOOK
Fish Gotta Swim... “Boom, boom, diddum, daddum, wattum, shoop -And they swam and they swam all over the dam.” Picture the “Three Little Fishies” in that old Spike Jones song, how do they get over that dam? It was a question I reflected upon as I watched the fish schooling at the base of the fishway at Marsh Lake recently.
Report fish die-offs to help DNR, others respond as needed
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources encourages Minnesotans contact the state if they see evidence of a fish die-off in a lake or stream. These fish die-offs happen occasionally and can result from a variety of causes.
Safety mindset essential around cold water
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources The weather so far in April has been anything but consistent and the same can be said for the ice-out status of Minnesota’s waterways. However, as people’s focus turns to open water, the Minnesota Department of Resources reminds boaters and paddlers that cold water is dangerous and unexpected falls can turn tragic quickly.
