Announcing:
The Horsehead Lake Fish Fund (update): Do
you want more Walleyes planted in Horsehead and the With the contributions from the Horsehead Lake Association, land and home owners, we were able to plant 3,950 hybrid bluegills (5 to 7 inches long) last spring. Our focus for 2008 has shifted to a walleye planting and we already have a good start with contributions for the fall of 2008. If you have already donated, please encourage neighbors to donate so that we can have another successful planting of fish in the fall. We still have the bank account for the Horsehead
Lake Fish Fund for all donations that are collected.
The more money that is collected, the more fish we will be able to
purchase. We are hoping to raise
enough to plant a minimum of 1,440 + 7 - 9 inch Walleye at a cost of about $3,000.
