This historic research report written by Dave Fielder and James Baker was published in 2004 the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. This report explores the challenges and opportunity for Walleye recovery efforts in Saginaw Bay, and sets the stage for the now fully recovered Walleye populations known today in the Saginaw Bay region.
This publication is archived in the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Library.
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!
