Missouri man catches pair of state record-worthy fliers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:37 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Setting a state fishing record is a noteworthy occasion. Imagine doing it twice on the same fishing trip.Tyler Goodale of Doniphan, Missouri, who holds the current world record for spotted sucker (5 pounds, 4 ounces), caught a pair of 11-ounce fliers at the Duck Creek Conservation Area using a basic pole-and-line method. Trending: This small Missouri town could become state’s ‘UFO Capital’ The Missouri Department of Conservation confirmed the weights and sizes using a certified scale in Wappapello. The previous state record was set in 1991, when a fisherman caught a 10-ounce flier at a private pond. According to the MDC, fliers like clear, quiet bodies of water with little current, and a mud bottom. The largest populations of fliers are located at Duck Creek and the nearby Mingo National Wildlife Refuge.Oh, and Goodale's world record? He set that in 2020, while fishing at Duck Creek.You can look up all the Missouri fishing records at MDC.Mo.gov.

Missouri lawmakers unlikely to fund Rock Island Trail this year

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:37 GMT

Discussion at a House Budget Committee meeting last week signaled another year of delay for the proposed Rock Island Trail.“We’re still hoping to hear conversations about it. But at this point we don’t see a clear path forward,” said Dan Haug, budget director from the Office of Administration for Budget and Planning. “We just didn’t feel comfortable putting it in this budget.”The Rock Island Trail is proposed to be 144 miles long, stretching across Missouri from Kansas City to the Ozarks, using a former rail bed obtained by the state in 2021.Last year, Gov. Mike Parson included $77 million in the budget for fiscal year 2023 to begin construction on over 70 miles of the trail, from Eugene to Beaufort. The funding was ultimately cut from the final budget by the Senate.Concerns over property rights and ease of access to land led to lobbying on behalf of landowners and businesses like Diamond Pet Food. The Missouri Farm Bureau also opposed the trail’s development.A decision from the U.S...

Sports wagering bill remains mired in Missouri Senate split over gambling expansion

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:37 GMT

Ladbrokes, the London gambling house where bets can be placed on anything from badminton matches to whether Ron DeSantis will be elected vice president in 2024, isn’t offering odds on Missouri adopting sports betting.But the top Republican and Democrat in the state Senate agreed last week that the chances are slim with only five weeks remaining in this year’s session. That pessimistic assessment was made the morning after the chamber spent eight hours arguing about how and whether to expand gambling in the state.As in each year since state-regulated sports wagering became legal nationally, the Senate is fractured between those who want sports wagering, those convinced gambling shouldn’t be expanded without also legalizing video lottery machines and those who think both proposals are a bad idea.When the Senate voted on an amendment to sports wagering legislation last week that would have allowed video lottery terminals at truck stops, veterans and fraternal halls, the vote on both si...

Missouri House approves legislation seeking to boost minimum teacher salaries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:37 GMT

A wide-ranging education bill cleared the Missouri House this week that includes a boost to minimum teacher salaries from $25,000 to $38,000. The bill also seeks to increase the amount the state can give school districts for each years’ operating budget.The bill now heads to the Missouri Senate. Missouri ranks 50th in average starting teacher salary, according to the National Education Association.Under the legislation passed by the House Tuesday, the state would pay for 70% of a teachers’ salary increase for four years. But because the bill places more money into the funding formula for schools, districts should be able to afford the full salary increase in the future, bill sponsor Rep. Ed Lewis, R-Moberly, said during debate on the proposal.The bill also seeks to establish scholarships for students who commit to teaching in hard-to-staff positions post-graduation, but this provision isn’t appropriated yet.Lewis said the scholarship funding is included in the budget appro...

Opinion: When this epic snowpack starts to melt, Colorado dams will feel the pressure

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:26:37 GMT

Reservoir manager Ken Beck says wryly that he has lots of water coming his way, “and I need a hole to put it in.”In southern Colorado, Beck is the superintendent of Pine River Irrigation District and Vallecito Reservoir, which catches water from the 13,000 and 14,000-foot-high peaks of the Weminuche Wilderness. It’s a place so wild and beautiful that Teddy Roosevelt protected it in 1905 by creating the 1.8-million-acre San Juan National Forest.The name Vallecito means “little valley” in Spanish, and the reservoir stores water for the town of Bayfield, population 2,838, as well as providing supplemental irrigation for 65,000 acres of Tribal and non-tribal land to the south.This winter, Beck has been faced with a near-record snowpack, now expected to turn into some 320,000 acre-feet of water. His 82-year-old reservoir, however, can only hold 125,000 acre-feet. What’s more, snow was still falling in early April.In late March, Beck saw moisture going up dramatically. Any reservoir manag...
