The Michigan Department of Natural Resources today announced that test results on fish collected in the ongoing fish kill event on Lake St. Clair were confirmed to be positive for viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSv).
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources released their final version of the new Fish Disease Control order for state waters. Great consideration given for catch-and-release tournament anglers, but anglers also need to help out.
Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia or VHS is the newest, and possibly most serious non-native invader into our great waters. This page is dedicated to providing you the most accurate and helpful information on this critical issue.
The VHS virus federal order has been amended effective 5/4/07 to allow transportation of live fish over international and interstate borders for fishing activities such as tournaments where the fish are released alive.
