Winterkill is Great News for Waterfowlers!

    The MN DNR News Release talks about the migrating diver ducks greatest friend Winterkill. With winterkill happening seldomly over the past 10 years, fish have been able to exact a tremendous toll on the invertebrates that feed hungry waterfowl in spring and fall. From walleye and muskie fingerlings stocked by our ill-advised MN DNR, to the pesky fathead minnow, they all are an evil in our shallow water basins and ponds.

    I am hopeful that with the little help from Mother Nature’s nasty 07-08 winter, and some great invertebrate stocking efforts this spring, we may start to see a turn-around in the declining populations of diver ducks in and through MN.
