Walleye fisherman this is for you,

6/30/2017

1 Comment

 
The DNR stocked our lake with 15,000 spring fingerling (about one inch in length) walleye fish on May 30th 2017.   They have not done this for a few years or more as of budget dealings.  They plan on stocking lakes in SW Michigan every two years, and ours should be stocked again in 2019.
Out of those 15,000 fingerlings  70-80% could not survive the first year, the second year is 40% of whats left could not survive. So after the first year we could lose 11,250 fish.  For the second year we could have 3,750 fish left, and out that, 40% is 1500.  So after two years according to the DNR we could be left with 2250  fish.  The DNR's goal is 2 fish per acre.  Lake of the Woods is approximately 300 acres in size so that puts their goal at 600 walleye.  Hopefully we can have that larger number of 2250 walleye left in our lake after 2 years.  They said this is somewhat all the same in lakes in SW Michigan.  Our lakes in SW Michigan do not have the structure to support larger numbers of stocked walleye fish surviving.  Happy fourth of July and see you in the boat parade.  LOWIA

Below are some web links that explain what riparian rights are and also key holing / funneling.  Since these issues have come up on our lake, hopefully this will give members a better understanding of these topics.

​Good evening,
Below you will find information tied to the 2017 Steve's Raider Stomp.  This years' event will be held the evening of June 30, 2017, starting at 6:00pm (MI time).  The event this year will have live music along with food for all the participants (including hotdogs, chips and our extensive fruit selection as in years past).  This is truly a top notch event and we hope you can join us for this fund raising event.
Please be aware that beginning at 5:30pm (MI time) and during the race, the roads traveled by the runners/walkers (primarily around the lake) will be closed.
Sincerely,
Tim Ritchie

Current LOW weed update from PLM

6/21/2017

0 Comments

 
The milfoil looked good and the starry stonewort was beginning to take off. PLM treated all that they could. The deq placed a restriction on the permit and designated two areas as "critical fish spawning areas" so they have to wait until July 1 before they can treat there. These areas are the bay at the Northwest part of the lake and the channel with the bridge to the island. Usually the restriction was June 15 but they changed it this year. PLM will be back out after July 1 to get these areas.

Start the day watching the annual July 4 parade.  
​A good spot to watch the parade is along the sidewalk by the VFW Celery Post 6248.  After the parade the VFW has kid games, hot dogs, popcorn, chips and beverages at prices you can not beat.  And you get to see some pretty neat looking tanks and a helicopter on the VFW lawn!. ​The parade kicks off at Mills and W. Delaware at 11:00 pm  goes down Deleware to East St. to E. St. Marys to N. Phelps ending at VFW 560 N Phelps

​Check out the boat parade on Lake of the Woods!
Decorate your boat for the annual LOWIA boat parade! The boats muster at 6 pm on the north shore of the lake. Look for the Pontoon with the Grand Marshall signs.The parade begins at 6:30 pm.

Watch the fireworks!
The best place to watch the fireworks is from your boat floating on the lake! They start just after sundown.
