Lake Trout Return?

Report Description:
At one time Lake Michigan had the largest lake trout population in the world. By the 1960's the trout was extinct.  Since then, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and other agencies have been trying to restore this native species without success.  There are a number of reasons for the failure of the lake trout reintroduction and one of them may surprise you.
