Within the western Great Lakes (WGL) U.S. region (Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin), the ecological impacts that North American Beavers Castor canadensis (hereafter referred to as Beaver) have on cold‐water streams are generally considered to negatively affect salmonid populations where the two taxa interact. Beavers are common and widespread within...
The decline of walleye (Sander vitreus) populations raises concerns about the stability of freshwater ecosystems and the sustainability of recreational and subsistence fisheries. Long-term recovery patterns after intense exploitation or population collapse remain poorly understood, complicating efforts to establish realistic stakeholder expectation...
On June 20, 2021, the Northern Highland Fishery Research Area (NHFRA) celebrated its 75th anniversary of continuous fisheries population monitoring and compulsory angler creel census on five lakes in northern Wisconsin. In 1946, five lakes were designated as experimental fisheries research lakes and all anglers have been required to adhere to the c...
Angler trip success and catch rates are dependent upon a fishes’ vulnerability to angling. Angling vulnerability can be influenced by angler-specific attributes (i.e., bait choice, lure size, use of a guide), and individual fish traits (i.e., boldness, aggression, stress responsiveness, and memory retention). The mechanisms that function in a fishe...
Angler experience has suggested that environmental factors (season, lunar phase, wind direction) effect trip success and catch rates. Most studies have focused on whether lunar cycles effect catch rates, with limited information on the effects of other environmental factors. Our objective was to test for the influence of multiple environmental fact...
Coregonus artedi (Cisco) and Coregonus clupeaformis (Lake Whitefish) are cold-water fishes native to some inland lakes in Wisconsin. We conducted a statewide assessment of Cisco and Lake Whitefish status using experimental mesh, vertical gillnets during summer 2011 – 2014. Cisco and Lake Whitefish relative abundances ranged from 0 – 137 and 0 – 3 f...
Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis are a native salmonid that provide a valued and productive sport fishery to Northeast Minnesota. Revival of North American Beaver Castor canadensis (hereafter Beaver) populations since near extirmination, and concern of their impact on Brook Trout habitat, constitutes reexamination of the complex ecological relatio...
Angler experience and beliefs have suggested that environmental factors (e.g., season, lunar phase, wind direction) effect trip success and catch rates. Most studies, primarily marine-oriented, have focused on whether lunar cycles effect catch rates, with limited information on the effects of other potentially influential environmental factors. Our...
