- Sweden's yen for herring roe fuels Lake Superior fishery
MPR’s Dan Kraker visits Grand Marais, as lake herring season on Lake Superior crests. For about six weeks every October and November, thousands of the silvery fish, also called cisco, are pulled from the Lake's icy waters. The harvest supports a small but thriving fishing industry along the North Shore that caters to the growing market for local and sustainable food.
- Commercial fishing may return to Lake Superior after a 40-year hiatus
