Episode 532 – Mille Lacs walleye regs, maple sap season, bowfin research, cougar kits in Michigan

Rob Drieslein and Tim Spielman begin this week’s show talking about the two-walleye limit on Mille Lacs that begins on May 10 (fishing opener), then discuss tariffs that anglers could face at the Canadian border this year. Andy Wendt, a Minnesota DNR naturalist at Nerstrand-Big Woods State Park near Northfield, joins the program to talk about maple syruping and maple syrup programs at state parks this month. Griffin Blegen, a graduate student at Bemidji State University, shares insight into his fascinating bowfin (dogfish) research that’s entering its second year with the open-water season. Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with discussion of the wild cougar cubs sighted in the Upper Peninsula, plus whether or not giant, extinct 200-pound beavers deserve to be the Minnesota state fossil.
