Check out our new WI Fishing Finder. Public access, boat ramps, regulations, habitat, stocking histories, consumption advisories and more, all in one map. We can’t find the fish for you, but we can help you decide where to give it a shot dnrmaps.wi.gov/H5/?viewer=WFF

Some work days are better than others. Great to see adult sturgeon beginning to show up in the Milwaukee River after two decades of rehabilitation efforts.

Cool to see the progress on #Fishpass on the Boardman/Ottawa River in downtown Traverse City, MI. More info here www.glfc.org/fishpass.php
Photo from bridge overlooking construction of FishPass restoration project on the Boardman (Ottaway) River, Traverse City, Michigan, re-connecting the river with Lake Michigan. FishPass will replace the deteriorating Union Street Dam with a new, complete barrier to all fish that will have the ability to sort and selectively pass desirable fishes while blocking others.

Unexpected bottom topography (ridges of clay with what look like scour holes) at 110 m in Lake Michigan. Anyone know more about these geologic features?

Check out this new paper led by @tabrown.bsky.social on recruitment trends in coregonines dating back to the 1960s in the #GreatLakes and #LakeSimcoe. Lake whitefish showed synchrony across lakes whereas cisco were more sporadic. academic.oup.com/icesjms/adva...

Now that I have some followers here, figured I'd post this here too: we have an ongoing cluster hire (THREE faculty positions) in Biology at Lakehead- transformational change in the department. Will provide links to each position in a thread below, but please DM or reach out with questions (1/6)

One of our weird discoveries: 1st field-documented case of a zebra mussel attached to a fish (lake chub). This phoretic association could facilitate 1) within-basin spread of zebra mussels via fish migration & 2) overland transport by anglers moving baitfish. redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...

This year has been a whirlwind but thankful to be firmly anchored back in the Great Lakes region. Looking forward to establishing a fisheries research program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Projects on Lake Sturgeon and Lake Trout incoming!
