Sport Fishing Harvest from Thumb Area Ports, Top 12 Species without Yellow Perch
This graphs shows the species of fish caught by sport anglers, not including charter boats. The area of a single color indicates the size of the harvest.
Walleye has recovered dramatically and has energized fishing. Participants asked if the total poundage of fish caught has stayed the same. Walleye are smaller than the previously abundant Chinook, so the poundage of fish caught is probably lower these days.
