MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today reminds the public of the second meeting in a series of four public meetings of the Lake Michigan Lake Trout Commercial Harvest Stakeholder Group to present information and gather public feedback on the Lake Michigan lake trout population.

The second public meeting is on Monday, March 20 in Cleveland, WI, and all members of the public are welcome to attend and participate.

Following a summary of the first meeting, the focus of this meeting will shift to lake trout mass-marking and movement patterns in Lake Michigan.
