Dredging Project from Hudson Lake Access to Main Lake to Begin Soon
- Details
IDNR Report
Public access to Hudson Lake may be disrupted beginning early July through the fall due to a dredging project aimed at improving boating access. The project, funded by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) program and Hudson Lake Conservation Association, will hydraulically pump sediment from the access channel and a navigation channel between the lake’s east and west basins to an upland area on the northwest end of the lake. This may result in temporary blockage or restrictions near these sites due to dredging equipment or piping on the lake. The DNR advises lake users to plan accordingly and boat responsibly near any obstacles until the completion of the project. For more information on the LARE program and its current projects, please see lare.dnr.IN.gov. More information on public access sites is at on.IN.gov/adopt-a-ramp.

By JAN-MICHAEL HESSENAUER, Michigan fisheries research biologist
Now is the best time to be a bass angler on Lake St. Clair in at least the last 50 years.
Lake St. Clair in southeastern Michigan, consistently rated as a top 10 bass fishing lake by Bassmaster Magazine, is a popular destination fishery for high-level professional fishing tournaments and fishing enthusiasts from around the world.
Anglers love this opportunity to connect with nature, that feeling of a tug on the line and a beautiful fish in their hands.
This isn’t just hype – smallmouth bass are thriving in Lake St. Clair, despite the presence of invasive species, an intense fishery and other perceived or potential threats.
A new research study from the Michigan DNR Lake St. Clair Fisheries Research Station looked at this fish population to explore what might contribute to its success.
What they found might surprise even the most avid Lake St. Clair anglers.
