His research is based on tacking and tagging of walleye, northern pike, burbot and common carp, both during the open-water and ice-fishing seasons.
In this episode of Blue Fish Radio, producer/host Lawrence Gunther talks to Somers about the fascinating fish behaviour and welfare findings from his research. And as a bonus, Somers also shares his favorite Saskatchewan fishing spots.
