Fun and wide-ranging conversation about Wisconsin fisheries on WPRs Larry Meiller show today. Hat tip to the more well-spoken colleagues who joined me @maxofthenorth.bsky.social www.wpr.org/shows/larry-...

Check out our new WI Fishing Finder. Public access, boat ramps, regulations, habitat, stocking histories, consumption advisories and more, all in one map. We can’t find the fish for you, but we can help you decide where to give it a shot dnrmaps.wi.gov/H5/?viewer=WFF

So great listening to my colleague and mentor Paul Cunningham talk about our Brook Trout Reserves project on the Musky Fool podcast reaching a wide audience of anglers youtu.be/Dyf8bAYvOtc?...

Following up on one of my first posts here, here’s a job coordinating fish passage and other conservation projects in our largest Brook Trout Reserve. Like trout, trout streams, or working with partners to pursue conservation projects - consider applying! wj.wi.gov/17546

Another really cool one

This is absolutely devastating. "The University of Maine System, which oversees Maine Sea Grant, said it was notified Friday night that NOAA was terminating a four-year agreement for funding, leaving 20 employees and the Sea Grant’s programming in limbo." www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

I help manage and study fisheries in Wisconsin, with the goal of making fishing better. It would be impossible without federal colleagues, partnerships, programs, funding, and regulations. Here’s a small sampling of what they do. Let’s not discard every cog and wheel without understanding their role

Postdoc opportunity @uwmadison.bsky.social evaluating aquatic plant treatment effects. Lots of data to use and network of great collaborators across the upper Midwest. limnology.wisc.edu/employment/

Would love to see some “big names” in fishing/outdoor media do the same. Scientists certainly have a role in this, but skeptical users of the resource are more likely to be convinced by a fishing guide or tv host explaining how this will affect their ability to fish/hunt/hike/camp/etc. 🐟🐠🎣 #SciComm

Pete Buttigieg is for the fish 🐟

Today's #25DaysOfFishmas is the Bluegill. A popular sportfish that makes a tasty meal! Bluegill and other Lepomis species will likely be one of the winners in a warmer Wisconsin future.

Check out this recent synthesis of NTL-LTER research on invasive species led by NTL PI Jake Vander Zanden. The paper highlights how long-term research on a freshwater landscape can advance our understanding of biological invasions doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Still incredibly relevant today. Definitely worth the read
