At Fish Lake Co, we understand the importance of preserving the natural beauty and vitality of Lake Michigan. That’s why we are excited to announce our continued partnership with two outstanding nonprofit organizations—Salmon Unlimited Illinois and Salmon Unlimited Wisconsin—to support habitat preservation and enhance the natural resources that sustain the region’s beloved salmon and trout populations.
The Mission of Salmon Unlimited
Salmon Unlimited is dedicated to ensuring the health of Lake Michigan's salmon and trout populations. With chapters in both Illinois and Wisconsin, this grassroots organization has been actively working for decades to preserve and improve the habitats and ecosystems that support these species. The group's efforts focus on habitat restoration, advocacy for sound conservation practices, and raising public awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy ecosystem in the lake.
Through their tireless work, Salmon Unlimited not only helps protect fish populations but also ensures the continued enjoyment of recreational fishing for generations to come. Their projects have a direct and positive impact on the salmon and trout in Lake Michigan, as well as the communities that rely on this incredible resource for both livelihood and leisure.
