Ask a FISH Question

Everything You Want to Know But Don’t Know Who to Ask

This website is about Wisconsin Game Fish. If you have questions about aquarium fish, we can’t answer them.

by Larry Damman

Ever hear something about fish biology or DNR fish management at the local watering hole or club meeting and wonder if that was the full story? Maybe you just have an interest in a fish-related topic.

To fulfill our mission of outdoor education, FISH would like to hear your questions. Among the members here at FISH, we have some in-house expertise to answer general questions. We will also reach out to professionals across the state, region and US, if necessary, that are doing that research or serve on pertinent committees for the answers.   

Any fish-related question is fair game. Could be about regulations, DNR fish counts, which species get along better than others, hatchery operations and contributions, what conditions are needed to make a favorite species thrive, or how an invasive exotic might affect my favorite fish, as examples. 

At least to start with we’ll try to answer everybody’s questions via email. (Your email will never be shared.)  Questions and answers that are of general interest will get posted on the website. Try to be concise. Questions that are too broad or vague are hard to address. If your question is very specific to a single waterbody we may forward it to the appropriate local manager.
