The town of Douglas has paved a walkway to the dam, and placed two concrete benches for public use. This expense was from Federal Stimulus Money we received. The paved walkway is for walking, ATV, UTV and Snowmobile (5 mph) use ONLY. NO vehicles (truck or cars). We have a picture of a red pickup truck driving over the top of the bridge at the Dam. This wooded bridge is NOT built to support vehicles!!!!! We are in the process of placing posts and signs at each end. Please let your neighbors know for safety reasons.
Thank you,
Jim Brancel

ANNOUNCEMENT - 2/16/2023
A Rough Fish Removal Contract was issued to Brooks Niedziejko that will be renewed for two additional years. The goal is to remove 405,404 pounds of carp total, 133,783 pounds is the target goal for 2023. Additionally, the contract requires that all gizzard shad cannot be returned to the lake after caught. These gizzard shad and all carp that are not sent to market (not the right size) will need to be disposed of properly. The Mason Lake District’s Lake Improvement Committee is reaching out to farmers that would be willing to take these fish for land spreading on their fields as they add nutrients to the soil. The DNR is working on getting a land spread permit exemption as well. Brooks and his crew will likely be fishing ASAP, targeting a spring market for carp.

ANNOUNCEMENT - 10/26/2022
We have some exciting news to share! Last week, almost 9,000 Black Crappie were stocked into Lake Mason! We are grateful for the strong relationship we have with the DNR and appreciate their advocacy to get us some FREE fish.

COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN REMOVE CARP - SEE PHOTOS ABOVE
