The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites people interested in Lake of the Woods fisheries to share their thoughts on a draft update of the fisheries management plan for the lake.
This opportunity differs from the scoping survey released in February 2024. The scoping survey guided the management planning process, while this is an opportunity to comment on the draft plan.
The Department of Natural Resources worked hard this past fall to stock fish in waters across Michigan – fish that will provide anglers with more opportunities in seasons to come.
The fall 2024 effort saw DNR crews stock seven different species at 78 locations throughout the state; in all, 590,504 fish, weighing 10.7 tons, were added to Michigan waters.
