Topics for Spring and Summer Seminars
With spring quickly approaching and summer right on its heels, we will be preparing for our Spring and Summer Seminars soon. We would like to open up the forum to your suggestion as to who you would like to see volunteer to speak and what topics you want to see covered. We will take all of your ideas into consideration. Feel free to provide feedback on our past speakers and topics and let us know if you'd like to see them back in the rotation this year.
Madison Lake quality and regulation issues
Gene, how about getting someone from the DNR to speak about water quality issues concerning the Madison chain and/or regulation related issues.
I know the hole minnow transport issue had a lot of us confused last summer.
As far as water quality, I heard just last week that now panfish are now contaminated with Mercury, and I had always heard that they were safe to eat because they grew fairly quickly and didn't live that long.
Both plant and animal invasive species are also an issue.
What can we do as fishermen and user's of the lake to help improve the quality that has continued to degrade over the years. We have an incredibly valuable resource in these lakes and it is as if I am seeing them poisoned before my eyes.
