Three-pound perch from Green Bay could be biggest caught in Wisconsin in 70 years

Andrew Berken, of Pulaski, was fishing with his dad, Kevin, and 2-1⁄2-year-old daughter, Finnley, when he struck gold in the waters off Door County Feb. 11.
“I have a few good trophy perch spots scattered around the Larson’s Reef area near Sturgeon Bay,” Berken said.

New York’s new catch-and-release season for trout in inland trout streams does not appear to be having a significant impact on wild trout populations, according to a newly released study from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Before 2021, trout season closed on most streams in New York after Oct. 15 each fall. The new catch-and-release season allows anglers to fish inland trout streams, but not keep any of what they catch until the traditional opening day of April 1.

Kristin Ojaniemi: Discovering splake and whitefish on Lake Superior’s Munising Bay

It’s March in the Upper Peninsula – well over halfway through our winter season. Lake ice remains thick here, and we’ve had over two months of good ice fishing on inland lakes this season.
Ice anglers have been on the big lake bays for a while now. Still, I’ve only filmed two ice fishing stories this season. I’m slacking. But on a recent morning, I left my house at 5:15 a.m. to drive over 2½ hours east to Munising to film my third.
