  • A Fish Story: How the Kletzsch Fishway Was Created

    Aaron Schiller, fisheries biologist with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, points across the Kletzsch Dam in August 2023 toward the excavation of the Kletzsch fishway. It’s a bypass designed to unlock access to critical spawning habitat for fish like northern pike and lake sturgeon, a species once extirpated from the Milwaukee River but now being reintroduced in hopes to reestablish a naturally reproducing population.
