It’s simple math really: Zero eggs equals zero fish for future stocking programs.
So, the spring walleye and steelhead egg collections by the Michigan DNR are critical components of the strategy for maintaining world-class fishing opportunities in the Great Lakes State.
Nearly fifty years have now passed since the first paddletail swimbaits splashed down in U.S. waters, the earliest designs having likely originated in France.

Lew’s introduced the Custom Lite SS at the 2024 Bassmaster Classic in Tulsa, Ok.

Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating the death of a Rochester man that occurred during a hunting trip Sunday on private property in Fulton County.
Conservation Officers were called to the location near Rochester after receiving a report of a man who suffered a gunshot wound.
Kenneth Moore, 28, of Rochester, was shot and killed from an apparent single gunshot to the head. Moore was hunting with three friends at the time of the incident, including a 12 year old and two adults, while participating in the Indiana youth deer hunting season.
At some point, the hunting party split into two groups. Moore and the 12 year old were walking along a corn field when an adult shooter from the other group shot Moore.
