You can help the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) decide on the future management of salmon and trout in Lake Michigan later this month. The public is invited to an informational session on Monday, January 23. DNR staff will present the latest Lake Michigan survey and stocking information. Anglers and anyone with a stake in the Lake Michigan fishery can share ideas and input on the DNR's future management initiatives. Bradley Eggold, DNR Great Lakes Fisheries Supervisor, says it is important to work with critical stakeholders to respond to the science and social preferences that drive the Lake Michigan fisheries.
The Lake Michigan Stakeholder Meeting will be at 6 pm on January 23 at the Lakeshore Technical College’s Centennial Hall West in Cleveland, but a Zoom option will be available with this link. The DNR will develop an ultimate plan for 2023 and beyond with the input received from the meeting.
