A Lake Erie walleye feature shifts to its smaller cousin the sauger. The Ohio River sauger averages 1.5 to 3 pounds, with larger ones rare, and they bite near river mouths and in deep water with jigging. Spawning runs occur in Sandusky River and tailwaters below dams, with a state record around 7 pounds 5 ounces noted by D. M.
The Ohio Wildlife Council approved the 1982-83 hunting and trapping season dates with new regulations proposed by Steven H. Cole. Squirrel season runs Sept 9 to Nov 13 on private land, Sept 9 to Dec 18 on state public lands, with four per day. Ruffed Grouse hunting spans Oct 8 to Feb 28, limits three a day, and is banned on Kelleys Island.

Dave Eggers of Oak Hill Jackson County caught a 9 lb 7 oz largemouth on Saint Patrick’s Day at Jackson City Reservoir using a jig and pig rig. He added an 8 lb 2 oz fish from the same lake last week. The 9 lb 7 oz bass leads the Fish Ohio program and could challenge 1980 and 1981 winners for 1982 honors. Eggers used a black leadheaded jig with a black pork rind eel on 6 lb test line.
In a Fish and Wildlife Service review urban Southerners show the least wildlife knowledge while Alaska and the West Coast know more.

James G. Hulett of 113 Glenwood Street earns a gamefish release award from the Metropolitan South Florida Fishing Tournament for a bonefish he landed and released.

Editor notes a vacation period with Tony Denslow covering outdoor pages. Upcoming fishing clinics include walleye and salmon sessions in Lorain County on May 6 and Oct. 13 plus Sept. 2 and Sept. 7 in Cleveland. Clinics directed by Dave Kelch, with venues at Lorain County Met Park District and North Olmsted Rocky River Interpretive Center. Weather and river reports cite strong walleye and yellow perch activity, with two 12 pound walleyes aboard the Maumee River spawning run and broad fishing from Lake Erie docks as northeast winds ease.
The debate centers on a potential federal duck stamp price increase tied to wetlands funding. Congress would need to act for any change, with erroneous reports circulating about a $70 rate. The 1961 Wetlands Loan Act, expiring Sept 30 1983, funds wetlands via stamp revenues. If it lapses, most revenues repay the loan, shrinking funds for land purchases and risking wetlands loss. Alternatives including private incentives are being explored while Interior Secretary James Watt leads the commission amid criticism.

In spring, anglers head to Lake Erie's Marsh stream areas for bullhead fishing. Bulls, eager for worms, warm sun on the bank as they watch tight lines.
