Acoustic telemetry unveils fish movements to better manage Michigan fisheries

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing, National News, News /

We all know fish swim and move. But the when, where, and why often remains a mystery for anglers and fisheries managers alike.
Managing fish populations requires a comprehensive understanding of fish behavior ­– driven by the biology of the fish and the environments they live in ­– as well as the anglers who value and enjoy Michigan’s world-class fisheries. Understanding angler behavior is relatively easy because people talk and can tell us what they like to catch and what motivates them to fish. Fish behavior, on the other hand? Well, that is more of a challenge.
Fortunately, fisheries managers in Michigan have adopted an advanced technology to unravel the mysteries of when, where, why, and even how far fish travel.

Fishing, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

There is a stretch of more than 50 miles of the St. Lawrence River (Thousand Islands) in New York, as well as eastern Lake Ontario, that constantly produces chunky, hard-fighting smallmouth bass. It’s this reputation for consistently giving up large numbers of quality bronzebacks that has earned the fishery the top spot in the 2024 Bassmaster Magazine 100 Best Bass Lakes standings.
