1-25-16 dnr asks ice fisherman to be on lookout for invasive species

todayJanuary 23, 2016

As ice fishing heats up on the Lake Winnebago System, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is urging anglers to report the incidental catch of round gobies in the lower Fox River above the Rapide Croche Dam,  in Little Lake Butte des Morts and in Lake Winnebago.  Round gobies are destructive aquatic invaders and were discovered in Little Lake Butte des Morts immediately below the Neenah Dam last August. The DNR says the aggressive fish out-compete some native species and pose a significant threat to the ecology of the Winnebago System.
