If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing. It's always fun to introduce someone to fishing and the "take a kid fishing" mantra has been stated for years, but the important part is to make the experience enjoyable and catch fish.
An ongoing fish die-off on Lake Macatawa, near Holland in Ottawa County, stems from the virus responsible for causing viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS, the Michigan DNR confirmed.

Angler creel surveys are being conducted by the Indiana DNR on the St. Joseph River below the Elkhart Dam in downtown Elkhart.
The creel surveys began early this month and will last three months. Similar surveys were conducted in 1999 and 2004. Anglers contacted by a DNR creel clerk can help the DNR manage the downtown Elkhart fishery by participating in a two- to three-minute interview.

The Michigan DNR announced that new muskellunge and northern pike regulations will go into effect for all anglers on April 1. In Michigan, only one muskellunge (including tiger muskellunge) may be harvested per season per angler.
Anglers who would like to harvest muskellunge must have a new muskellunge harvest tag thats now available. Anglers are not required to obtain this harvest tag to fish for muskellunge; its only for those anglers that intend to harvest a muskellunge.
