Outdoor Journal Radio Podcast Network

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by Great Lakes scientist and Dean of Algoma University's Faculty of Science, Dr. Michael Twiss, to talk about the effect our warm winters and lack of ice cover is having on our fisheries.

First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: merch prices, high nuts; the Napanee education system; good tequila; the down sides of wire leader; jaw spreaders; turkey tail; the arrival of deer ticks in Saskatchewan; getting attacked by mice; the Master Angler program; and the best time to target trophy Lake Trout.

With those matters out of the way, Dr. Michael Twiss joins the show. Topics discussed included: the short history of the Great Lakes; the unseen impacts of no ice cover; PCBs in fish; the protection ice provides spawning fish; a deep dive on zooplankton; where fish get their smell; how temperature affects fish location; cold fronts; losing out Maple Trees;  ice fishing on Lake Superior; and much more!
