December 26, 2002 Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee Established by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, to improve and maintain fishery resources through better communication and partnership. Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee Meeting Friday, October 11, 2019 Tuscarora Township Hall Indian River MI Approved Attendees: Tom Ludwig, Erv Dedow, Dave Steenstra, Jim Burke, Virgil Smith, Ron Dulak, Ray McMullen, Wayne Blomberg, Erin McLean, Marty Jones, Jim Mortimer, J. P. Van Ostenberg, Bill Parsons, Emily Martin, Tim Cwalinski, Frank Krist, Dave Borgeson (notetaker), Randy Claramunt, Ken Kreichelt, Bob Garant, Gregg Siebert, Rick Fowler, Paul Fox, Alan Thompson, Roger Jacobs, Roy Tassava, Joe Van Antwerp, Gary Isaman, Steve Schultz, Dave Edwards, Nick Johnson, Steven Roznowski, Paul Borg, Robert Wysocki, Gail Scharffe, Randy Felsing, Jim Bowers, Roger Bergstedt, John Hutto, Rick Colonna, Tim Rosochacki, Brad Kessel and Dennis Fauver. Welcome, introductions: Frank and Tim welcomed everyone, and all present introduced themselves. Walleye season opener for the Northern Lower Peninsula discussion (Dave Borgeson, MDNR Northern Lake Huron Unit Manager) Frank provided a quick background to set the stage for the walleye season discussion. Dave shared a presentation crafted by Patrick Hanchin that explained the recent history and exploitation rates of select studied walleye populations in the Northern Lower Peninsula. A list of the season changes since 1986 are listed below: There have been many changes to statewide walleye seasons over the years. The expanded season in 1987 was designed to increase fishing opportunity following general positive responses of walleye populations after improvements to habitat and walleye stocking. Page 1 of 20 The shortening of the U.P. season in 1996 was pushed by public concerns of excessive harvest of spawning congregations. The extension of the U.P. season in 2008 was a common sense move since walleyes in the U.P. should not have the winter season end earlier than the Lower Peninsula. We used tag returns from various lakes to show that harvest in that period was low. The 2010 changes in the Inland Waterway were specific exceptions rather than changes to the statewide regulations. While the population was determined to be relatively low in Mullet Lake during 2010, there were considerable politics at play as well. The changes were intended to be temporary so in 2019 following several years of stocking as well as natural reproduction, the walleye season on Mullett Lake returned to the statewide regulation. Dave showed the exploitation rates (which is the percent of the adult population harvested in a given year) for the lakes in the Inland Waterway, which were generally under or near 15% as shown below. These Northern Lower Peninsula lakes have about average exploitation and there is no concern for these values. There would be more concern if exploitation was approaching 35%. Dave discussed the slides of each lake below that showed the exploitation rates for each 2-week period during the season. In 2011, Mullet Lake was closed for the first 2 weeks, but it appears that some people did not know and caught and reported a few walleye. It is also possible that these returns could have been legal tribal harvest reported as recreational harvest. Exploitation is a product of catch rate, effort, and the angler’s harvest decision once fish are caught. While catch rates can be high in the spring, overall effort is usually low, thusoverall exploitation is not high. In fact, the peak exploitation on Mullett Lake was in late July and early August. Page 2 of 20 For Burt Lake, the peak was in late May and early June. For Crooked and Pickerel lakes below, the peak exploitation was in late May and early June. Notice that winter exploitation is very low in all lakes. Page 3 of 20 The Black Lake tag returns were evaluated in 2005 and the peak exploitation in Black Lake, as shown below, occurred in June and was quite variable all year. These charts showed that the early harvest before May 15 does not appear to make up much of the overall yearly exploitation Spawning closures at many locations are already in place to protect highly vulnerable walleye populations in years where they may be in these rivers during the first two weeks of May. These moderate rates are not alarming for the rest of the waterway. Dave and Tim made the point that a relatively small adult walleye population can produce large year classes, so the harvest rates seen on these waters during spawning or near spawning periods will likely not have a measurable effect on spawning success. In addition, most vulnerable Page 4 of 20 walleye on the spawning grounds are males since they spend the entire spawning cycle on the grounds, whereas females tend to move in and out very quickly after spawning. Dave said that it would be difficult to justify additional spring protections for the studied lakes with the information currently available. There doesn’t appear to be a compelling biological reason to make changes in the rules. He further stated that there are benefits of having simple statewide regulations that are understandable by most of the public, as opposed to a patchwork of water- specific regulations that may be marginally more appropriate to a water body but could potentially complicate regulations enough to confuse many anglers. Despite this, we do have some spawning closures on certain rivers in northern Michigan where walleye concentrate during spawning. It was mentioned by one of the participants that walleye have been mismanaged by the DNR for the past 40 years, and the populations and fishery was much better prior to the current management regime. Randy Claramunt, DNR Lake Huron Basin Coordinator, who supervises the lakes and rivers on the west side of the state, agreed that the DNR has made mistakes on several fronts in the past but much has been learned as we move forward and the public’s input is encouraged and always appreciated. Frank mentioned that there has been major research undertaken during the recent 3-year (2011-2013) study of walleye biology and movements throughout the Inland Waterway. This project brought together the cooperative efforts of the DNR, Tribes, Universities and other agencies, to complete the most comprehensive study of walleye ever conducted in these lakes. The Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee was updated at each regular meeting and the participants provided steady input and were able to exchange ideas with the researchers, before, during and after the study was completed. This relationship between individual stakeholders, DNR, Tribes, other agencies, Universities, lake associations, businesses and others that are interested continues through at least two Citizen Advisory Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee meetings each year. Over the last two decades the DNR has made a strong effort to involve the public in decision-making in nearly all aspects of its operation. The following DNR web page will provide links to the extensive number of Citizen Advisory Committees that have been established, including many fishery committees, https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79137_79763---,00.html Much of the discussion on the walleye season became centered around the walleye overharvest situation that occurred at the mouth of the Rainy River in Black Lake (to be covered also in next agenda topic). The difference between the delayed opener for the Rainy River as opposed to Black Lake was cited by Irv Dedow and others as problematic. Irv thought it leads to a greater probability of illegal activity. The group agreed that a smaller subgroup will be formed to discuss this issue in depth to determine if any changes or studies are necessary. Summary of the Rainy River walleye patrols this spring (MDNR Officers Paul Fox and Tim Rosochacki) Officer Tim Rosochacki explained his focus on the spring spawning congregations, and the ensuing poaching that inevitably occurs. He stressed the need for prompt reporting of illegal activity so that they can catch them in the act. Officer Paul Fox mentioned that he lives near the Rainy River, and also asked that folks call quickly if they witness something suspicious. Paul issued tickets this past spring. Fines and restitution have been as high as $100for illegal fishing in the vicinity of the Rainy River mouth. Paul and Erin McLean discussed the issue with the local judge and fines have been increased to $300. Word has been getting out that law enforcement was staking out the Rainy River with search warrants readily available in case they are needed during the investigations. This year was different than the previous year since the anglers were not catching walleyes to a great degree at the Rainy mouth but were catching them elsewhere in Black Lake after opening day.. Development of aggregations of fish and game animals vary seasonally from year to year depending on the weather conditions, so it is difficult to estimate probable dates of the peak activity. The Black Lake Association (BLA) has done a very good job sending prompt information to Paul. Paul believes enforcement on the Rainy has become much more effective with this improved communication and developing relationship. Ron Dulak said BLA placed information in their newsletter to publicize the issue with the goal of adding more eyes looking for and reporting violators. Page 5 of 20 Updated limnological data for our large lakes from the lake monitoring program (Dave Edwards, Monitoring and Research Director, Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council) Dave discussed the overall focus of the Council which is directed toward watershed management, restoration, policy and advocacy, education and outreach, monitoring and surveys. Water monitoring of the lakes and rivers in the area is an important aspect of Council’s mission.

    Water Trail Plan Inland Waterway and Straits Area Cheboygan and Emmet Counties Funded by: Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Michigan Coastal Management Program, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality with support from the Emmet County, Cheboygan County, Mackinaw City, and volunteers. June 2014 1 Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trail Plan Introduction The Inland Waterway is a 40 mile long historic water route that connects Lake Huron by way of Cheboygan, Indian River, Alanson, and Conway and with series of long portages at the headwaters to Petoskey State Park and Lake Michigan. A coastal route, part of the Huron Shores Blueways, connects the City of Cheboygan to Mackinaw City and the Straits of Mackinac. Like the interior water trails, the coastal waters have been used for transportation for thousands of years. The Inland Waterway has long been marketed as the motor boating paradise. Sitting along the banks of the Indian River on a summer afternoon and watching a steady stream of motored craft pass by, attests to the marketing success. There has never been a multi-community effort to organize and promote a paddle trail. Human-powered quiet water sports are among the fastest growing outdoor recreation activities. Combined with other active sports facilities such as the North Central State Trail, North Western State Trail and the North Country Trail, the water trail will bring visitors to the area, add to the quality of life for residents and enhance the rural-recreation sense of place. Furthermore, development of the water trail represents a regional, multi organization effort and will support economic development in the region of the state dependent upon recreational visitors.

  • A Lake Named Douglas
    Douglas Lake, in Cheboygan County of Northern Michigan, is a beloved spot for many, including the author and his family. That connection and the author’s passion for history led to this: a well-researched look at lake and region. The author completed this effort of many years near the end of his life, with editing help from his daughter. And there was still more he wished to learn about . A Lake Named Douglas Its history in brief By Gordon L. Dolton ©2014 A Lake Named Douglas By Gordon L. Dolton Edited by Gail Dolton Blaskowski Introduction Scan a map of Northern Michigan and it's easy to overlook the oddly shaped blue-filled outline in favor of its better-known watery siblings. Between the town of Pellston and Interstate 75 is where you’ll find Douglas Lake. Yes, that's Burt Lake just south and popular Mullett Lake close by. By the numbers, Douglas Lake is a substantial lake, but it is an obvious third in its neighborhood. It is a disconnected shirttail on the well-known inland waterway between Great Lakes Huron and Michigan. Still, Douglas has significance in the fabric of Northern Michigan as a gathering place, resource and playground. Generations of many -- Native Americans, farmers, entrepreneurs, resorters -- have ties to the lake. Important also is how Douglas Lake has figured prominently in research and education for scientists and students, who still work along its shores to explore and understand the natural world. One of the most powerful transformative natural forces in Earth’s history gave Douglas Lake its start.
