Nothing to do with climate.
It is due to the over-fishing by Indian tribes and there spitting in the face of sportsmen by throwing dead walleyes up on the shore to waste.

Wisconsin lawmaker rips tribes’ spearfishing goals

MADISON, Wis.—Wisconsin’s Chippewa bands want to spear too many walleyes again this spring and risk re-igniting tensions if state officials adopt tight bag limits for non-tribal anglers, the state Assembly’s tourism chairman warned Thursday.
The tribes have declared they want to harvest a record 63,488 walleye across northern Wisconsin this spring. The declaration comes after the state Department of Natural Resources imposed strict bag limits to compensate for last year’s tribal goals and protect the walleye fishery. This year’s declaration could push the agency to adopt even tighter restrictions on non-tribal fishermen.
Rep. Dean Kaufert, R-Neenah, chairman of the Assembly’s tourism committee, was so incensed last year that he threatened to rescind a state grant for one Chippewa tribe. He said Thursday that the tribes are being too aggressive again this year, and he’s already hearing complaints from constituents.
“Unfortunately the tribes don’t do themselves any (public relations) favors when they do this,” Kaufert said. “(The record declaration) catches people’s attention and they’re not pleased about it ... when you severely limit the ability of these folks to have a decent catch, it may impact the tourism.”

I guess that’s too un-PC, so a “mystery” it must be.
Too-clean water wins over don’t dis the native American community.
You can’t blame chit on Indians (foreign or domestic) in this state; off to the Re-Education Camp with you! *SMIRK*
Yep, that's been an ongoing problem with the Michigan tribes and their netting in lake Michigan........
