Lamprey barrier on Brule River cuts eel upstream
Wisconsin DNR reports their redesigned lamprey barrier on the Brule River is functioning almost perfectly. In three days around Memorial Day it stopped more than 6,000 lamprey while preserving trout migration, with the barrier capturing eels for study and saving millions of potential eggs from entering Lake Superior.
