Black Crappie Sarcoma has been identified in Lake Mason. According to Jennifer Bergman, DNR Fisheries Biologist, the DNR fish health specialist recommends to not eat an infected fish. To prevent spread of the disease, the DNR requests that infected fish not be returned into the lake. One of the unknowns is if the fish are safe to eat. The lesions can go into the muscle tissue, making the filet undesirable to anglers. Anglers have a choice whether to eat diseased fish, whether it is black crappie sarcoma, black spot, etc. There are plenty of healthy fish to eat, but it is up to the angler if they want to eat a diseased fish. Jennifer has provided the following information sheet on Black Crappie Sarcoma:

Carp netting has begun in Lake Mason!
The DNR issued a 5 year netting permit to a company that is working with 2 other companies to jointly work to harvest carp from Lake Mason. The netters were out at the end of March / early April and harvested approximately 11 tons of carp. They were back later in April and harvested an additional 11 tons. One carp weighted over 40 lbs.! The carp netted were shipped live to a company in New York City where they were sold to make gefilte fish.
Additionally, they harvested over 5 tons of gizzard shad, mostly 15-18", some as large as 20". We would like to thank Ken and Dick Huber for taking the shad.
We will keep you up to date when we know when they will be returning. Check out the slide show on the "Photos" page with some great pictures taken by Charlie Newling. Watch for a picture of the 40+ pound carp taken!

NOTICES
Posted May 2, 2016
This past March, the ice buckled the boat ramp next to the dam in Briggsville. The ramp will need to be completely replaced before Deano Dock & Lift can launch their barge needed to install homeowner's boat lifts and the channel buoys. Because of the size and draft of their barge, they can only use the ramp in Briggsville.
Pat Kirby from Marquette Land Conservation office is going to come down and survey the boat landing for a new ramp pad and start the paper work for a DNR permit to do so. The Town of Douglas, which owns the launch, will be looking at bids to remove and replace the existing ramp. The Lake District will update this notice as soon as we get more info.
