DNR fisheries habitat management staff work with a variety of partners to improve access and the fisheries in central Wisconsin. This Fisheries Spotlight will focus on these partnerships and the positive achievements accomplished through working collaboratively.
DNR fisheries habitat management staff, working with the help of partners, also conduct trout nest, or Redd, surveys on the upper Mecan. This Fisheries Spotlight will define a Redd, the ecological importance and showcase the data-collecting partnerships that will help guide fisheries management activities into the future.
There will also be a discussion on the 2023 Lake Puckaway fish survey results and changes observed in the fishery. We will also talk about a unique project to continue the removal of brown trout in the Upper Pine River in Waushara County. This project has a 20-year history of trying to restore native brook trout to the Upper Pine River.
