Smelt Season Mixed In Lake Superior Region
A spotty smelting season in Lake Superior yields high reports from Ashland area groups and commercial harvesters, while U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials say the smelt population is rebuilding after a 1979 to 1981 low. Cold April nights may have hindered spawning, though trawler surveys indicate recovery, with levels still below the lake’s 1967 68 and 1976 78 peaks.

Lac du Flambeau doubles spearfish harvest than last year
Lac du Flambeau's nine day tribal spearing season yielded 5743 walleyes, more than double the 2755 speared statewide during 1985. DNR figures show overharvest on Star Lake, while Lac Courte Oreilles and Mole Lake tribes continue spearing. Tribal leaders cite unintentional excess and praise enforcement and cooperation with the DNR.
