Michigans Fisheries Division announced this week it recommends the Upper Peninsula brook trout daily possession limit remain at its current level of five.
In 2000, the daily possession limit for brook trout in most Michigan streams was reduced from 10 fish to five fish. Since that time anglers have asked the DNR to consider reinstating the 10 fish daily possession limit for brook trout on Upper Peninsula streams.

Moe RanieriHas this ever happened to you?
Its mid-summer, youre on the lake, the fish are bitin and your favorite reel begins to act up.
Maybe it growls, develops a strange vibration with every turn of the handle, or the spool wont engage.
Moe Ranieri has turned a hobby of fixing reels into part-time job.
Something like that happens to me every year. Not that I dont have good reels; I just dont take very good care of them.

When a Fort Wayne angler caught two odd-looking fish from the Pigeon River in LaGrange County, he thought they were snakeheads, an invasive species that biologists fear could wreak havoc on native fish.
But as has happened with other reports of what someone thought were snakeheads, the dark green, slimy, toothy fish that 27-year-old Jeremy Hennen caught were not the exotic predator from Asia. They were run-of-the-mill bowfin, commonly called dogfish.

Record-breaking CatfishNever doubt Rodney Akey when he says hes gonna catch you a big one.
Just ask his buddy, Will Skalla.
Will likes his bluegill fishing, but I prefer bigger fish, said Akey, a catfish specialist. I told him that bluegills were for women and children, and that if he would come with me Id show him what big fish look like.
So, on May 22, the Niles anglers headed to the St. Joseph River below Berrien Springs dam. About 8 p.m., Akeys line began to move. He let the fish run a bit, set the hook and the battle was on.
