DNR deems Chippewa spearing season a political and biological flop
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources called the 1985 Chippewa fish spearing season a public relations and biological failure that should not recur. DNR official George Meyer cited social conflict, argued tighter future regulation, and offered six tribes money to skip spearing in 1986.

Spearing rights buy-out gains little Indian backing
Chippewa spokesmen show scant support for a DNR plan to pay Indians not to spear fish in 1986 to prevent clashes over tribal spearing rights. Leaders voice distrust, urging clearer negotiations as harvest data show 4,683 pounds of walleye and 978 pounds of muskies speared, mainly on Lake Tomahawk. Nine interim agreements exist while a final treaty-right definition awaits U.S. Judge Doyle.
