IRON MOUNTAIN — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will accept feedback until Aug. 31 on forest road maps to be updated in 2024.

Off-road vehicle enthusiasts can view the status of forest roads and submit comments on an interactive map at Michigan.gov/ForestRoads, or email comments to DNR-RoadInventoryProject@Michigan.gov.

Statewide, about 11,600 miles of forest roads are open to the public. The DNR annually reviews information to make sure digital maps reflect what’s on the landscape and help people know which roads are open. Updates are posted April 1.

While comments may be submitted at any time, feedback received by Aug. 31 will be considered when developing the 2024 maps. Updates may include decisions to open or close a road to ORV or conventional vehicle traffic.

A draft copy of Wisconsin’s revised 2023 Wolf Management Plan is now available at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat/wolfmanagementplan. During a 3.5-month public review, more than 3,500 comments were collected, the Wisconsin DNR said.

The plan recommends holding the statewide population at around 1,000 animals. It will be presented to the Natural Resources Board during its October meeting.

Walleye fishing has picked up in Lake Michigan by Green Island near Peshtigo, Wis., the Wisconsin DNR said. Casting shiver minnows during the day and trolling crankbaits at night worked best.

Brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon were caught both at Green Island and at Stoney Point in Menominee County. Stinger spoons, flutter spoons, Northport nailers, and moonshine spoons worked well, the Wisconsin DNR said.

The Michigan DNR reported this Upper Peninsula activity:

Little Bay de Noc: Walleye anglers reported catching a few fish in the 15 to 19-inch range. Trolling crawler harnesses and jigging near black bottom and the Escanaba River produced fair results. Some yellow perch were harvested; despite low numbers of fish being harvested, the perch were nice size, around 10 inches.

Big Bay de Noc: Smallmouth bass anglers reported good fishing. Casting soft plastics with a natural color pattern was what most anglers used with good success. Walleye anglers reported slow fishing.

Fairport: Chinook salmon fishing was good. Anglers were catching a mixture of year classes with plenty of adults being reported. Average water surface temperatures were around 69 degrees.

Marquette: The best places for anglers to catch was near Granite Rock and between Presque Isle pier and the White Islands. Anglers trolling around 45 to 120 feet of water were harvesting the most lake trout, Chinook, and coho salmon near the White Islands. Anglers trolling for lake trout around Granite Rock were having the most luck at around 120 to 150 feet of water. Gold colored spoons and silver crankbaits with raspberry accents were good colors out by Granite Rock while either bright green or bluish flasher flies were popular for lake trout and coho near the White Rocks.

Au Train: Anglers trolling or jigging around 60 to 80 feet of water near Grand Island were harvesting the most lake trout. Bright green spoons, crankbaits, or cow bells were common baits.

Keweenaw Bay/Huron Bay: Anglers were able to catch Chinook and coho salmon however the catch was less than that of previous weeks. Some anglers were also able to find brown trout but in smaller numbers. Most anglers were able to find lake trout in a variety of depths and throughout the water column. Almost every fish was caught while trolling with artificial lures. Most anglers were catching fish while trolling between 60 and 150 feet of water.

Big Traverse Bay/South Portage Canal: Anglers were catching lake trout during the last week and some salmon. Most fish were caught while trolling and most boat anglers were running spoons and flies. Anglers were trolling anywhere from 50 to 170 feet of water.

Ontonagon River: A combination of trolling and jigging yielded the best results with a few walleye harvested and an occasional rock bass.

Ontonagon/Silver City/Union Bay: On some of the nicer days anglers were able to find respectable numbers of lake trout with a few coho salmon thrown in the mix.

Black River Harbor: Despite stormy weather, fishing was relatively good with consistent lake trout and coho salmon catches.
