An informal public meeting is scheduled on
June 8 at 7:00 pm at the Dover Town Hall, 4110 S. Beaumont Ave., Hwy 75,
Kansasville, WI. We plan to discuss fish management and fishing regulations
for Eagle Lake. Currently the fish community is dominated by an
over-abundant slow growing Panfish population. This has resulted in
excessive predation on largemouth bass young, and zooplankton. Algae blooms
have increased and water quality has declined. Exotic Eurasian water milfoil
dominates the plant community.
WDNR proposes to treat Eagle Lake in the
fall of 2007 to remove the fish community. Prior to treatment, game fish
will be removed alive and held in ponds for stocking back into Eagle Lake in
2008. New fishing regulations will be proposed that are designed to protect
game fish and improve water quality.
Anglers and other interested in fishing and
water quality are invited to the public meeting to discuss these issues, and
others as they relate to the health of Eagle Lake and its fish community.
