Great video, I'd love to see the trout vid you mentioned. It's funny how much species overlap there is between my state (WA) and states hundreds or thousands of miles away since these sport fish have been so widely introduced
I really liked this video, ive always been curious about the native ranges of many of the fish I target, its cool to know how prominent native sportfish are in the state of Michigan.
The steelhead is an anadromous fish meaning that it migrates from saltwater to fresh water throughout it's life to spawn. (And they sometimes linger in fresh water) So yes you can find them in both freshwater and saltwater.
Yeah, the ranges of some of these fish definitely have changed over time. Especially with the bucket biologists putting Pike in all the lakes here in Montana. Many a good trout or bass lake has been ruined.
Pike don’t eat trout unless there are too many on a lake and eat bass when they are running out of other food sources, the decline in those fish is because of overfishing not pike
@@Crustaceanking50 nice try but one of the lakes I am talking about is not experiencing overfishing. It's on the Reservation with no motorized water craft allowed. The trout declined precisely when the pike got introduced. Every local fisherman knows. Since the pike introduction now others have put Sunfishes and Small mouth Bass in the lake. Yellow Perch were there before the pike and coexisted with the trout. The lake is still fun but it's now a pan fish lake not a trout lake.
Love these types of informational videos to watch when your not fishing keep it up
Great video enjoyed it.
Great job videos very informative great for anglers trying to Target certain species keep up the great work🤘🤘
@@fishonoutdoorschannel2210 thanks! I appreciate it!

Yeah isn't that interesting! Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to make that trout video sometime soon!
Almost all of the Mississippi River species are prevalent in the Great Lakes, too
Great Video Nathan‼️👍
Thanks!

The steelhead trout is indeed a freshwater fish. I was just up in Erie pa fishing for them.

I thought the ranges of the flathead and the blue were the other way around
@@davidarford3719 please see the pinned comment
You gotta add canada ranges to man we got a lot of those fish too
I wish I could have. The maps that I had access to unfortunately didn't include Canada very often.
@ oh man
I love the channel tho but if you try your best to add canada il like every one of your vids
@@Metropolischessofficial thanks 👍 my latest video, (all of the upland game birds) is actually very inclusive of Canada if you want to check that out!
According to this video the only fish that wasn't introduce into new jersey is the yellow perch
