Coho Fishing Revival in Lake Michigan Brings Hope
In a Cedar Rapids Gazette feature, a group journals the Lake Michigan recovery story from lamprey control to stocking coho salmon. The piece notes the 1965 Great Lakes Fishery Commission effort with Dow Chemical and the dramatic rebound of coho and chinook, followed by a tragic 1967 storm on Sept. 23 that sank boats and killed seven anglers. The author recounts a Cedar Rapids expedition to Michigan City for coho fishing, detailing boat charters, daily limits, and the practical costs of a six-hour trip.
