DISCOVERING | Stocking Splake in the Porcupine Mountains | Ice Fishing for Splake and Musky


Subscribe:


Episode 29 - We follow the Michigan DNR as they stock one of the most remote lakes in Michigan; Mirror Lake in the heart of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. See what it takes to get 3000 yearling splake out there in the winter. Then we join Corie Berrigan for an ice fishing trip for splake on another stocked lake in the Upper Peninsula, and try to bring a giant musky topside. And we catch a bonus fish!
