Walleye fever hits Maumee River- Editor H2ONotes [ 3/10/2010 - 16:02 ] # Just as the Toledo Walleye hockey team is ending its first season of
regular league play, the Lake Erie walleye are beginning an annual
tradition as old as the Maumee River.
This time every year, up to 500,000 of the fish make their way up the
largest river flowing into the Great Lakes for the “spring run.” The
reproductive ritual is responsible in part for Lake Erie’s claim to fame
as the Walleye Capital of the World. more...

Lake Michigan Salmon On The Fly- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/26/2010 - 06:37 ] # Fishing for salmon on Lake Michigan is a favorite pastime of many
anglers in Michigan. There's something exciting -- perhaps even
addictive -- about getting up before sunrise and heading offshore to
reel in a few king salmon. This summer, heed the king's call and head
for the water of Lake Michigan, but don't feel compelled to go about
business as usual. This season, trade your spoon for a fly and
experience some of the best summer salmon action in our state. more...

Ice & Steel- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/24/2010 - 06:52 ] # Virtually all of Michigan’s steelhead spawn in the spring, but not all
of them wait until spring to run up our Great Lakes tributaries. In a
few streams, there will be summer-run steelhead that entered their
stocked or natal river last summer. A much larger group will migrate
upstream in the fall and spend the winter in the river waiting for
springtime procreation. more...

VHS may change rules for using smelt as bait- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/16/2010 - 23:07 ] # Minnesota anglers might see new regulations about using smelt as bait
before the Minnesota fishing opener. Possible rule changes are under
discussion by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources officials. The
changes would come because Cornell University researchers found viral
hemorrhagic septicemia in a few fish from Superior Bay and St. Louis
Bay, tributaries to Lake Superior. Smelt routinely have been harvested
from Lake Superior by anglers and used as bait in inland lakes. more...

DNR: Anglers should use caution on Michigan's inland lakes as ice continues to build- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/9/2010 - 07:03 ] # Ice continues to build, especially on most of Michigan's inland lakes,
but anglers are still urged to use caution, the state Department of
Natural Resources said Wednesday.
Anglers are advised to avoid
pressure cracks because many of them had open water less than a week
ago, and ice at river mouths and on creeks is unsafe, the DNR said in
its weekly recreational fishing report. more...

Angler awaits DNA test on record catch- Editor H2ONotes [ 1/18/2010 - 19:13 ] # 
FLINT -- It's amazing what DNA evidence can do -- solve decades-old crimes, settle paternity disputes, even decide whether Deaunti Kemp's huge sunfish is a state-record bluegill or a world-record hybrid.
The 28-year-old Flint angler caught the 2-pound, 14-ounce fish Monday on Lake Nepessing in Lapeer County. He thought it was a bluegill and knew it was big, but it wasn't until he had it weighed at Cobb's Bait and Tackle that he learned it was 2 ounces heavier than the state-record bluegill. more...

Those fish can hear you- Editor H2ONotes [ 1/12/2010 - 07:08 ] # SAGINAW -- Ice fishermen often blame slow fishing on decreased fish. Doug Deming asks, "Don't you think 500 guys dragging sleds over the heads of the fish in six feet of water might have something to do with it?"
Deming owns Fish Point Lodge on Saginaw Bay near Unionville, one of the state's best-known waterfowl lodges. In summer and winter, he offers guided fishing trips for walleyes, traveling over the ice in a closed Argo ORV that has rubber tracks like a tank and floats like a boat, allowing it to cross open leads. more...

The roads might be clear from last week's snow, but that still doesn't mean you can assume everything is safe. The hidden danger of ice could be lurking right underneath your feet and you won't know it until it's too late.
Scientists say it takes several weeks of freezing temperatures in order for ice to be safe enough to walk on, and even then, there are risks. more...
