Lakes Committee:  Eric Fox

  1. Gerry Young has decided to retire from lakes after some 20 years.  Thank you for his significant contributions.  We are looking to transition his lake statistics reporting to someone to carry on that important role.
  2. Important Dates:  Lake treatments set as May 9th, June 13th, and August 15th.
  3. Look for the boater’s test and registrations to be mailed soon (March 3rd).  Also, dock rentals and kayak rack rentals will be sent as well.
  4. Lakes is organizing a lake debris clean up on May 15th.  Place debris on your dock and we’ll pick up with the “work boat”.  More details to come.
  5. Fixed docks at Willies are under construction.  Awaiting bid to redo the floating sections.  Intend to be similar to the Marina dock with kayak launch.
  6. Fish study on the main lake this summer.  Happens every third year or so.  Small Lake Fish study for all small lakes to budget/bid for next summer.
  7. Committee passed a motion to allow F&G to place slot bass in Melody after tournaments.  Fishing pressure is high there.  Very likely to be caught and removed.
