For the last century, the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage has gained notoriety for providing recreators exceptional angling opportunities amidst a wild and scenic setting. The 13,500 acres of water, 195 islands, 200 miles of undeveloped shoreline and 16 flooded lake basins provide a breadth of habitats that underpins a diverse and productive fishery.

In this presentation, we’ll break down the fish community, providing a recent status of major populations, those populations’ historic trends, major management successes and future challenges facing the “Crown Jewel of the North” and the fishery it supports. 

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.

Presenter: Zach Lawson, DNR fisheries biologist
