When walleye are finicky and you need to put a jig right in front of their hungry mouths, turn to the new VMC® Hover Jig.
In the past three years the Michigan DNR has received increased reports of grass carp being captured in Lake Erie by commercial fishermen. These fishermen have also reported seeing more of this species, as well as specimens of varying age and size indicating there may be a naturally reproducing population in the lake. This assumption has been confirmed by a recently released U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report.
USGS has determined grass carp, a species of Asian carp, are naturally reproducing within the Lake Erie basin. Grass carp do not present the same ecological risk to Michigans waters as bighead carp or silver carp, although they are a species of concern because they feed on aquatic plants and can significantly alter habitat required by native fish. Grass carp have occasionally been found in Michigan waters since the late 1970s.

Those recommendations are based upon some observations made by Indiana DNR biologist Tom Bacula, who spent October researching young walleye populations on those lakes.
Each fall, biologists go into lakes that have been stocked with walleyes to assess how the young fish are doing.
