Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials are investigating a lake sturgeon that was found on Durham Road in Whitehall (Muskegon County), just south of the White River access.
The 71-inch fish was dumped on the road between midnight and 5:30 a.m. Friday, July 17. Damage to the left gill plate of the sturgeon indicates that it may have been snagged.

The comeback of coasters — Lake Superior’s mysterious brook trout

Featured, Featured, Features, Fishing, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing, Wisconsin /

Coasters are the colloquial name given to brook trout that live in Lake Superior. I always kind of assumed the coaster name was a Canadian thing but have since learned it is used all around the lake.

But something – no one is quite sure what – happened to cause lines on charts that had been drifting downward to suddenly reverse course. The state regained nearly 10,000 squirrel hunters by the time the 2025 season came around. Was it a data glitch? Or had interest in one of Illinois’ most traditional hunting seasons been sparked in a new generation or sportsmen and women?

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Wisconsin /

Imagine nearly 5,000 acres of undeveloped forest dotted with small lakes, plenty of hunting and trapping opportunities, remote camping sites, and miles of hiking trails.
Sound too good to be true? It might, but such a place does exist in rural Chippewa County. The Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area is part of the Wisconsin state park system and sits seven miles east of New Auburn on Hwy. M. Chippewa County Forest acreage is interspersed with the recreation area, adding to the hunting and trapping opportunities.
