 Through recent years, freshwater fish populations have been dwindling in numbers. This has been affecting all species in freshwater. There are numerous variables effecting the species and are mostly our own fault. If we do not change, I predict we will completely eliminate species of fish we have grown accustomed to. I will go over a few problems that are continuing to hurt these populations. Overfishing has been a problem throughout lakes across the United States. Fishers not paying attention to size and weight requirements, along with taking an amount that exceeds the limits per day. This led to not enough mature fish to promote sufficient spawning. Pollution always has been a problem in waters, and it does not change for freshwater. People are throwing away trash into lakes. Any kind of trash is damaging to fish because unhealthy water diminishes these species and not much is changing. Invasive species has become a major problem. Introducing any type of animal with no natural p...

What is Lake Shelbyville? Lake Shelbyville is a lake located in central Illinois in Shelbyville. Growing up here, I have learned just how good of a place Lake Shelbyville is. It is known for its size, along with how clean it is. This lake flows into the Kaskaskia River and has been a hot bed for fishers all around. Lake Shelbyville is a naturally fed lake, with no pollution run off that goes into it. This lake is in a small town but does not mean it does not have resources for great fishing. Resources Lake Shelbyville has an abundance of resources. The Army Corps of Engineers over sees the lake and all projects that go on around in.

They also have programs that build fish habitats that are put in the lake to promote breeding. Another resource is the campgrounds around the lake. These campgrounds are perfect for fishers who want to ...

Next you will want to tie on your hook or lure. There are several ways to do this. A very effective w...

 My Reasoning I came up with this idea because of my childhood being spent outdoors and in nature. Growing up in a small rural town, days were spent outdoors on the lake and fishing. This is where I learned how and grew my affection for fishing. My love for this is the reason for wanting to spread my knowledge of wildlife, and also help preserve it. Classics Popular fish in lakes and ponds in Midwestern United States include bass, crappie, catfish, and sun fish. These are beautiful species of fish, and also wonderful to catch. Uses These fish are used for food, but also for fun and sport. It is a big market in the food industry all across the world, not just the United States.

Relaxing Fishing is a very relaxing hobby that can help people become more in touch with themselves an...
