Joe Wojick heads up our Walleye stocking project and has provided an update on the project.
THE THREE REARING PONDS ARE STOCKED WITH FATHEAD MINNOWS, WAITING FOR OUR 2'' WALLEYES TO ARRIVE[NORMALLY FIRST WEEK JULY] . OUR NEW POND, THE COUNTY POND IS THE LARGEST OF THE THREE. IT IS OUR FIRST YEAR WITH THIS POND, SO WE ARE PUTTING A SMALLER SHARE OF WALLEYES IN THE COUNTY POND THIS FIRST TEST YEAR. MAYBE 4000 FINGERLINGS, OF THE 15000 THE DNR IS GIVING US THIS YEAR TO REAR UP. THE PLANTING LARGE FINGERLINGS SEEMS TO BE A SUCCESS ON SPIRIT AS THERE ARE A LOT OF SMALL WALLEYES BEING CAUGHT , AND BEFORE THE PROGRAM STARTED IN 2007 THERE WERE NO SMALL WALLEYES TO BE HAD IN SPIRIT. THE COUNTY POND NEEDS A LITTLE WORK YET, WE NEED STEPS GOING DOWN TO THE NETTING AREA.. IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT THEY CAN CALL ME AT 715 965 0250 . WE ALSO WILL NEED HELP DURING OUR WALLEYE MOVING THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER. IF YOU WISH TO HELP CALL ME AT 715 965 0250 OR EMAIL TO WOJCIK@TDS.NET WE NEED 5 TO 6 PEOPLE EACH NIGHT OF THE MOVING,POSSIBLY 3 NIGHTS THANKS JOE W.
The Rib Lake High School Tech Ed class built and helped install the catch chute.
