Minnesota wolves eating fish wasn't a fluke - it's a thing

KABETOGAMA LAKE — When researchers at the Voyageurs Wolf Project first captured video of wolves catching and eating fish out of a small stream back in 2017, they thought it was probably a unique occurrence.

Now, upon further research, the biologists have found that many wolves across their Northland range likely target and catch fish in the spring — a good source of protein at just the right time of year when other food is not abundant.

In a study published in the May issue of the journal Royal Society Open , the wolf project scientists found wolves returning to their favorite fishing holes to catch fish for five straight years, and one more year after the report was finished.
