So do Brown Trout also go up the rivers like coasters and Steelhead do?

@theobirkholz Ай бұрын

It's kind of puzzling why so much MN DNR resources go towards non-native rainbows. In my opinion it makes more sense to focus on the native fish and let the invasives die out. Why not put all this effort towards coaster brookies? Another criticism - with all the funds going into this program, why can't we harvest any non-clipped steelhead? Great video Grant thanks.

Steelhead get to much money. Bring back the real river fish. Brook trout. Bring back the brookies!

@SuperiorAngling Ай бұрын

As passionate as Nick is about steelhead, I would say brookies rank higher on his list.

How far upriver do these fish actually run?

@SuperiorAngling Ай бұрын

Can be upwards of 20 miles on the Knife River. Other rivers on the shore, that distance is drastically reduced due to large waterfalls the fish cant get up.

@@SuperiorAngling yep. I've fished most of them but never really have fished the knife much due to people.

@davebrassill9819 Ай бұрын

about 60 miles

Steelhead are mud fish

@SuperiorAngling Ай бұрын

🤣🤣 Some like them, some don't. Definitely a lot of fish on our list that rank higher, but they can be fun to chase every now and then.

So just like wisconsin you move your stocking to a species and the rest go down. When stocked lake superior is an excellent salmon and splake fisherie but here they cut way down on the stocking on superior , it all goes to lake Michigan. I dont think they stock salm9n anymore here. We want salmon and splake like we had years ago. They protesct the bass because a few guides mare a killinh on them, most livingbhere hate bass in lake superior. I think all the staes and Ontario should form a plan to save things like coasters in spots but gives aglers places to fish in lake superior.

WDNR still stocks Splake, and Superior is simply not a salmon lake. There's a few rivers that still have natural runs of salmon still, but I never saw a mature Chinook that was spawning at 10lbs until I moved from Lake Ontario to Wisconsin and fished Up Nort Wisconsin. I'd be happy with the natural strain of Lakers you guys have. They really are different from all the Lake Trout in all the rest of the Great Lakes.

@@dilligaf0220 they stock a few splake and browns but not like they used to. Years ago it was excellent for everything, but they stalked lots of salmon splake and browns and we had great walleyes. Nobody likes the siscowets, the smallers ones up to like 26 inch are very good smoked but any bigger theres just too much fat. But i like catching them. Lake Michigan wouldnt be a salmon lake either if they quit stocking.
