Let’s take a closer look at two of the better trout streams in Shawano County: The North Branch Embarrass and the West Branch Red rivers. We will specifically be talking about trout trend data, cooperative projects with local partners and substantial habitat projects that are ongoing and in the near future. We will also be talking about warmwater fish sticks that have been taking place on the Chain O’ Lakes in Waupaca County and Legend Lake in Shawano County, and how working with the lake associations to provide more complex habitat in area lakes that lack structure for quality fisheries.
This meeting is part of the Northern Wisconsin Fisheries Spotlight Series, which allows the public to learn about game fish management and meet the DNR staff members working in northern Wisconsin.
Presenters: Elliot Hoffman, DNR fisheries biologist, and Kyle Kossel, DNR fisheries habitat biologist
