Volunteers Needed - Spring of 2024
The DNR will be running nets on both Roosevelt and Cedar Lakes this spring for their muskellunge population assessments. As always, they are looking for volunteers to assist. If you haven't done this before, this can be a super fun experience to see all of the fish species they find in the nets and perhaps learn a thing or two about the lakes along the way.
To learn more about what information the DNR needs from you and to get on their schedule of volunteers, contact either Mike Knapp for Roosevelt or Rick Bruesewitz for Cedar Lake. It's best to contact them ASAP, as getting on their approved volunteer list can take a little bit of time.

BLC Members Cleaning Up Accesses
We encourage everyone to visit a public access and do a little clean up. As anglers and users of the accesses, it is our responsibility to help make sure our accesses debris free. See trash.. pick it up. A few BLC members have been out doing just that. Thank you and keep up the good work! 2024 UPDATE: Do you want a chance at a $50 gift card to Mills Fleet Farm? Here is all you need to do; simply take a picture of you cleaning up the trash at any of our area waters and send the picture to us via email or Facebook message. brainerdmuskies@gmail.com So that we can share with our community where we have been, we ask that pictures include a lake access sign or other visible landmark at a public landing. The winner will be chosen at our May 14th monthly meeting. Need not to be present to win but your attendance is encouraged:) Our goal is to help improve our local lakes and help promote great stewardship. Thanks to Dan who already made a visit to Middle Cullen on March 10th and has the access looking great! |
