Early 1958 trout season canceled by lamprey impact
Michigan Conservation Department Director Gerald E. Eddy says rainbow trout spawning is severely reduced by sea lamprey depredations, leading to abandoning the early spring bowfishing season to aid rainbow spawning. The two week spring bow season was previously set before the regular April opener. Rainbows, or greenheads, spend most of the year in large waters and migrate to inland streams to spawn in spring and fall.
