Lake Michigan salmon population surges

It’s a fantastic season for salmon fishing as the state continues to stock more of the fish in Lake Michigan. (Aug. 1, 2023)

They don’t stock Full sized ready to eat salmon. It takes 5-6 years for them to return as the bigger ones.The video was right. The reporting was alittle off. But optimistic approach and convincing people to get outdoors is always a plus. 😎😎👍✌️

just think if the news would report good news and not propaganda they read on the screen, it would change peoples attitudes.

Yummy PFAS food. If you don’t know what PFAS is then look it up about these forever chemicals.

With all the raw sewage and other pollution in that lake.. You'd never catch me eating anything out of that lake. I worked in the sewage treatment plants. I know what gets dumped in there.

And this comes form someone whom consumes fast food I’d assume. If only you knew where the food you actually eat comes from. I don’t eat local fish but can tell ya it’s much better then what your accustomed too 👍

Not really, as a frequent salmon fisherman we went from maybe 5 salmon a week to 5 salmon a day, they also last all the way through december and early january, wisconsin had an especially good season last year, this one is also proving to have more as staging fish have started way earlier than usual even with the heat
