At the January meeting we had a great showing for the Annual Swap Meet and the following meeting. We had a great presentation by the United States Coast Guard Auxilliary, which stressed safety. They even explained how the new DSC radios work and why they are so important. We even had a guest DNR Warden visit us. Thank you to everyone who attended!
Looking ahead, we are still securing a speaker for the March meeting. In April we hope to have a Manfacturer's night with Lake Michigan Angler out of Winthrop Harbor, along with a presentation from Brad Eggold from the DNR Fisheries division. Brad will be updating us on the Creel Count Data gathered at Brew City 2011. In May we will have Tim Campbell, the new Invasive Species Specialist from the Great Lakes Water Institute. It will be an informative Spring!
If you have an idea for a program at one of our upcoming meetings, please share it with a board member.

Lake Michigan Sport Fishing...
The Best Trout & Salmon Fishing in the World is Right at our Doorstep… and the Great Lakes Sport Fishermen Club is working to keep our fishing great!
Lake Michigan has been called the “World’s Biggest Fishing Pond,” and with good reason. We have the best trout and salmon fishing to be found anywhere in the United States. If not anywhere in the world - right at our front door.
Catching a trophy-size fish is no longer something to just dream about, and you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to make your dream come true in Canada or Alaska. You can make it happen right here in Milwaukee!
GLSF club members routinely catch chinook or king salmon over 20 pounds, lake trout over 15 pounds, rainbow trout or steelhead trout over 10 pounds, coho salmon over 8 pounds, and brown trout over 15 pounds.
Join us - the Great Lakes Sport Fisherman - and learn our fishing tips and techniques. We’ll help you to fish with success on Lake Michigan, and make your dream of a trophy-size catch come true.
Your membership will insure quality facilities and good quantities of fish for years to come.
Our club’s strength is in numbers. Collectively, our members do make a difference by preserving and improving the fisheries.
