New cool-water complex boosts walleye and muskellunge production
A new cool-water fish production facility at Thompson State Fish Hatchery, which will support walleye and muskellunge stocking, is in the final stages of construction, and fish are already being reared there.
Walleye eggs were collected from Little Bay de Noc early this spring and were incubated and hatched in the new state-of-the-art hatchery. Muskellunge will be transferred from Wolf Lake Hatchery in Mattawan during August each year and reared at Thompson State Fish Hatchery in Manistique until November, when they will be stocked depending on need across the state.
“For nearly 150 years, the Fisheries Division has reared fish in facilities designed specifically for trout and salmon,” said DNR Fisheries Division Chief Jim Dexter. “This is our first completely separate cool-water facility, which is important for managing the risk of disease and improving our capability to deliver cool-water fish such as walleye

Mike Bach spent around $8,000 to install a system of pipes and pumps to stop his late father s home in Michigan s Upper Peninsula from flooding.
Access to ample water supplies could make Michigan a climate refuge. That scenario is attracting considerable attention in the Great Lakes State.
But climate change also is disrupting the earth’s meteorological cycles. Which means more fierce Great Lakes region storms and more floods.
The consequences are not evenly distributed. Or, in the words of Jeremy Porter, the head of research and development at First Street Foundation, a Brooklyn-based research group, flooding tells “two different stories.”
Flooding Tells ‘Two Different Stories’ In Michigan
Jane Johnston, Circle of Blue – April 27, 2021
Access to ample water supplies could make Michigan a climate refuge. That scenario is attracting considerable attention in the Great Lakes State.
But climate change also is disrupting the earth’s meteorological cycles. Which means more fierce Great Lakes region storms and more floods.
The consequences are not evenly distributed. Or, in the words of Jeremy Porter, the head of research and development at First Street Foundation, a Brooklyn-based research group, flooding tells “two different stories.”
One of them, said Porter, belongs to financially struggling families who are unaware of flood risks. People like Michele Ivey. In September of 2020, Ivey and her siblings, Miki and Bryan, moved out of a two bedroom mobile home in Rochester Hills after the death of their father, and into a home just off of the St. Clair River in East China Township, northwest of Detroit.
