Ask a fisheries biologist: Details from a Chippewa Flowage fish survey taken by Wisconsin DNR team
The Hayward DNR fish team ran a brief netting survey on the east side of the Chippewa Flowage this spring to gather some quick data on the status of black crappies, northern pike, and walleyes, though the timing was better for crappies than other species. We are able to compare this year’s results to past surveys to determine how the fishery has changed over time.
