DNR presses second Brule lamprey barrier project
The Wisconsin DNR renews plans to build a new concrete lamprey barrier on the Bois Brule River to block sea lamprey while allowing trout passage. The overhaul uses a 150 foot run and removable plate to lift trout over a 6 foot barrier, with lamprey destroyed and land-buried during spawning. Funding totals about 240000 with 100000 from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and 140000 from state trout stamps.
