12: Michigan's Trout/Steelhead/Salmon Grand Legacy featuring James Dexter: Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Cheif

New Series-"Introductions, Invasive's and Indigenous Restorations"

With more cold, clean fresh water than anywhere on the planet, the  grand Great Lakes State of Michigan is a true Trout, Salmon and  Steelhead utopia for anglers form all over the world! Along with  Hallowed Waters Podcast host Matthew Supinski, James Dexter and the host  discuss the amazing species introduction accomplishments of Michigan to  bring the brown trout from Europe to the Western Hemisphere, Steelhead  rainbow trout to the Great Lakes from the West Coast, and the innovative  Pacific Salmon experiment to Lake Michigan to combat the alewife bait  explosion, and thus created a whole new epic era of angling for the  entire Great Lakes system. Michigan's vision to establish a world-class  Atlantic Salmon fishery, which produced and still holds the IGFA world  record ,and it's pioneering vision to restore the Coaster Brook Trout  and now recently the indigenous Arctic Grayling populations in it's home  state waters that border on 4 of the 5 Great Lakes is truly  ground-breaking! On a more sobering side, the exotic invasive species  brought here by intercontinental ocean-going freighters to the Graet  Lakes as a whole are sending biologists into a tail-spin to have to deal  with them, and which are disrupting the food chains and prey/predator  balances at an alarming rate. Along with climate change and its impacts,  there are many challenges in the coming years and to what the future  holds to maintaining a world-class salmonid fishery that most take for  granted. Join the host/publisher of Hallowed Waters Journal /Pod cats  and his guests for these very thought provoking podcasts-don't miss this  one!
