Loon Lake is a 700-acre fishery that sits near the Minnesota/Iowa border in Jackson County. It’s a shallow lake, with a maximum depth of 7 feet, but it’s full of walleyes, which draw anglers from both sides of the border.
Anglers and other interested outdoor enthusiasts have until 5 p.m. on Aug. 31 to comment on what the Minnesota DNR is calling “fish and cormorant population management alternatives” for Pelican Lake in western Minnesota’s Grant County.
At issue is Pelican Lake’s declining walleye population. According to the Minnesota DNR, the most recent fisheries survey conducted in June 2021 on the lake near Ashby indicates that double-crested cormorants may be limiting survival of young walleyes that are the key to sustaining a healthy walleye population.
