Michigan’s Grayling Fish Hatchery has been operating since 1919

Featured, Fishing, Michigan, National News, News /

The Grayling Fish Hatchery’s history is a long one. It has been in existence for more than 100 years – established in 1919 by Rasmus Hanson and several fellow sportsmen including Henry and Edsel Ford. Their intent was to reintroduce Grayling to local waters.
When many of the fish did not survive, production was switched to raising brook, brown, and rainbow trout for release into the Au Sable River. The hatchery operated under private ownership until the state of Michigan bought the facility in 1926.

Despite hearing issues, the bond between these hunting partners one to be treasured

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting /

Grouse hunting is an art and the canvas is truly unique around every bend, up every knoll, and beside every stream.
This outdoor adventure usually begins the second week of September in Michigan and can be enjoyed with the companionship of a dog, with partners, or by oneself. Though I don’t have a dog as a companion anymore, I truly admire the style and picture-perfect form of pointers or setters seeking grouse.

Sterile lamprey release shows positive progress in controlling sea lamprey in Michigan rivers

Featured, Michigan, National News, News /

Attempts to control sea lamprey populations in Michigan river systems are showing positive results.
Efforts to control sea lamprey populations in the Cheboygan, Pigeon, Sturgeon, and Maple rivers since 2016 have resulted in no larval lamprey being produced in the Sturgeon and Maple rivers in years following the efforts and significant reductions in the Pigeon. Lamprey eradication in the Cheboygan River through the use of sterile male sea lamprey took place in 2017.

Studies show road salt is negatively affecting rivers and streams in Michigan, across U.S.

Featured, Michigan, National News, News /

The salt used to melt snow and ice on Michigan roads eventually washes into soil, lakes, and streams, in some cases contaminating drinking water reservoirs and wells. It has killed or endangered wildlife in freshwater ecosystems, since high chloride levels are toxic to fish, bugs, and amphibians, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
During the May 1, Northern Inland Lakes Fishing Advisory Committee meeting, John Gannon and Dr. Roy Tassava of the Mullett Lake Preservation Society gave a presentation agreeing with the EPA and voicing their concerns of this on-going issue.
