COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN REMOVE CARP - SEE PHOTOS ABOVE
As of March 28th, 2020, over 30,000 pounds of Carp were removed from Lake Mason and shipped to either New York or North Carolina. In addition to this good news, the fishermen are no longer seeing Large Gizzard Shad, which is an improvement to past fish removals. We are currently in year 5 of this process.

NOTICES
Posted May 2, 2016
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!
