A once plentiful species of salmonid is on track to return to Michigan waters by 2025 – after nearly a century of absence.

A native species known for their large, sail-like dorsal fins and light blue and sometimes iridescent pink bodies, Arctic grayling have been absent from Michigan since the 1930s. A project to bring them back began in 2016, and hit a crucial milestone this fall.

Michigan’s first year-class of 4,000 young, healthy future broodstock fish, averaging 6.5 inches long, was transferred in September from the well-fed Oden State Fish Hatchery near Petoskey to the Marquette State Fish Hatchery where the fish are reared in water that mimics the grayling’s natural habitat - and will trigger spawning.
