Fishing Better But Lake Trout Run Below Peak
Waukegan observers report Lake Michigan trout fishing improved from last year yet remains far from good. On a Wednesday trip 14 nets yielded 33 lake trout weighing about 65 pounds, with nine showing lamprey marks. Experts cite lamprey predation and shifting production cycles as key factors in the decline, while noting last year’s catch was far lower.
