⚠️Lake Michigan History Spotlight:
The 1967 Coho Frenzy

In 1967, Lake Michigan made headlines for all the wrong reasons. 😳

Word spread FAST—-“the coho are in!”—and thousands of anglers hit the water in every kind of boat imaginable. But when the weather turned, excitement turned to disaster.

💥 Over 150 boats capsized
💥 200 more were beached or abandoned
💥 Dozens rescued, and lives tragically lost

That weekend became known as the 1967 Coho Fishing Disaster—-a day that changes Great Lakes history forever. It sparked safer boating practices, stronger awareness, and a deep respect for the power of Lake Michigan. 🌊 🌊

What started as a frenzy built the fishery we know today—and the tradition that still packs every launch when the coho roll in.

At Tackle Haven we’re honoring the anglers and the history that built out fishery.

Moose are on the move. Thanks to the Upper Peninsula Moose Research Project, launched earlier this year, we’re getting new insights into how these animals move as the seasons change.

Here you can see the paths of three moose (a cow and her twin calves) that were collared earlier this year. The data show current movements: while one of the twins is staying in the Keweenaw, the mother and her other calf have traveled south and split, as moose often do once they reach a certain age.

We’re seeing expanded movement patterns that reflect the seasonal shift as moose leave their northern summer range and head south for winter.

If you missed our Friday post about recent moose updates, check it out. We hope you find this data as interesting as our biologists do as this collaborative study continues.
