Important regarding Lake Michigan!
There's currently a movement to allow the COMMERCIAL HARVEST of Lake Trout in Wisconsin waters that has flown under the radar for the most part.
If this passes, it could lead to fewer salmon, unexpected season closures, and ultimately the decimation of our sport fishery. Commercial fishing played a major role in the destruction of this lake once before. Considering the millions spent and the decades of work to get the lake back to where it is (it's still not fully recovered), we can't let them do it again.
We're asking all of you - if you care about this fishery and the thousands of people and families it supports, please take 5 minutes of your time and tell them you don't support this.
