Check out our new WI Fishing Finder. Public access, boat ramps, regulations, habitat, stocking histories, consumption advisories and more, all in one map. We can’t find the fish for you, but we can help you decide where to give it a shot dnrmaps.wi.gov/H5/?viewer=WFF

Some work days are better than others. Great to see adult sturgeon beginning to show up in the Milwaukee River after two decades of rehabilitation efforts.

Unexpected bottom topography (ridges of clay with what look like scour holes) at 110 m in Lake Michigan. Anyone know more about these geologic features?

One of our weird discoveries: 1st field-documented case of a zebra mussel attached to a fish (lake chub). This phoretic association could facilitate 1) within-basin spread of zebra mussels via fish migration & 2) overland transport by anglers moving baitfish. redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...
