This collection consists of seventeen interviews of members of the Lake Huron coastal community of Rogers City, Michigan, as well as fisheries professionals, who experienced the buildup of Chinook salmon fishing in Rogers City in the late twentieth century and the Lake Huron Chinook salmon fishery crash in the mid-2000s.
Interviews collected and curated by Carson Prichard, Central Michigan University (2021). Research funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
With financial support from America250MI, we are excited to enhance the GLFHT website! We’re delivering a more accessible, user-friendly experience and expanded stories that celebrate fisheries heritage in Michigan and throughout the Great Lakes region.
Some highlights include new trail stories featuring local voices, curated educational resources for youth and educators, additional places to explore in our directory, and more ways to connect with coastal communities through history, culture, and stewardship.
The first phase of the upgraded site launched in June, with more content coming in August 2026. Thank you for visiting!
