Minnesota DNR adds to steelhead numbers in streams, Superior
In 2017, the Minnesota DNR began raising steelhead trout to bolster the population of these fish in streams along the North Shore of Lake Superior and in Lake Superior itself.
The program began with the intent to raise “clipped-for-harvest” fish, which means only fish with a clipped adipose fin could be kept by anglers. The adipose fin is a small fin on the back of the fish between the dorsal (large fin on the back of the fish) and caudal fin (tail fin).
