HLA FISHING AND FISH MANAGEMENT PAGE

Attention: Horsehead/John Brown Lake Cottage Owners

Do you want more Walleyes planted in Horsehead and the John Brown Lakes ?

With the contributions from the Horsehead Lake Association, land and cottage owners, we were able to plant 2,450 Walleye (6 – 8 inches long) last fall - 2010.

Our focus for 2011 is another Walleye planting. Donations for this fall stocking are still needed. Please encourage friends & neighbors to donate so that we can have another successful planting of fish this fall. The more money that is collected, the more fish we will be able to purchase. We are hoping to raise enough to stock a minimum of 3,000+

6 – 8 inch Walleye at a cost of about $6,000. So far we have planted a total of 7,781 Walleye in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Donations can be mailed to the address below or dropped off at the Uschuk cottage, located at 8386 Hellskettle Court , (the tan cottage at the point between Horsehead and Little John Brown.) (231) 972-2101

The DNR has informed me that they will again start stocking the 22,000+ Walleye fingerlings again this year, however we are not sure if we are on the list for the stocking this year or next year depending on the amount of fish available.
