DNR IS SEEKING MORE PUBLIC INPUT: The DNR is seeking more public input into the development of commercial whitefish rules for Lake Michigan. The initial public meeting was held on May 23 and the DNR has posted proceedings and supporting materials at the following website at DNR.wi.gov and search “Lake Michigan commercial whitefish.” The DNR is in the process of potentially developing a specific rule that better protects spawning whitefish in northern Lake Michigan and may potentially modify commercial fishing zone whitefish allocation or zone structure to better reflect current whitefish abundance and distribution. The comment period will remain open until June 30th for those who were unable to attend the meeting or provide written feedback to date. Send comments via email to David.Boyarski@wisconsin.gov or mail to: David Boyarski, Wis. DNR, 110 S. Neenah Ave., Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235 Phone (920) 746-2865.
