Native Subsistence My Ass By Craig Sandell © 2026 Every year the tribal leaders of the Lac Du Flambeau roll out the same old tired justification for the unregulated winter spearing…"We need it to feed the needy of the tribe". Every year we hear the same old crap from the WDNR that it [the WDNR] has no option but to standby picking their nose and scratching their butt as the Lac Du Flambeau continue to rape the lakes of Vilas and Oneida counties. It is obvious from this recent pictorial documentation that the only reason the Lac Du Flambeau are spearing is spiteful vengeance and complete disrespect for the natural resources of the fishery. The Lac Du Flambeau will try to sell the myth that Walleye and Musky fishermen are responsible for large fish harvests but that is just so much crap. When Walleye are harvested by non-native fishermen, the fish are eaten; not thrown on the shore to rot. Musky anglers very rarely keep a Musky. This is a disgusting display of resource abuse. If Cathy Stepp ever needed a reason to stop sitting on her hands and take action; this is it.
