VOUCHER APPROVAL None.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Status of current lake conditions, rehabilitation management and ongoing
projects
Larry noted that lake appeared weedy. Tom Zagar noted that Marine Biochemists are scheduled
to do a treatment on June 20th. Greg noted there is a large milfoil bed off the end of Groveway
Lane straight out from the creek channel. Tom Zagar noted that Bass Bay has milfoil to treat but
that milfoil was not seen to be a problem in the lake between Boxhorn launch and channel to
Bass Bay. Larry and Greg noticed an abundance of carp. It was also noticed that dogfish
(bowfin) were caught and seen in the lake. Len said he had heard this native fish feeds on young
carp – and helps control their population.
Tom Zagar read an e-mail from Fisheries Biologist Ben Heussner. DNR staff had periodically
monitored dissolved oxygen and found levels to be adequate in January and February. With the
harsh winter thirty inches of ice developed and there was very little water between ice and lake
bottom in the main lake. After ice out there were reports of dead fish from winter kill. The DNR
staff performed an electrofishing survey to get a feel for the status of fishery. They observed
decent numbers of gamefish and panfish leading them to the conclusion that there was only a
partial winter kill. They did note that carp are on the increase and that marked northern pike
would be stocked this year. In the future they will be able to distinguish stocked versus naturally
reproduced northern pike.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Discuss potential projects on the recent Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife
Area acquisitions to restore wetlands including restoration of the dike on
former Rieger parcel.
Tom Zagar informed the group that the DNR is applying for a North American Wetlands
Conservation Act (NAWCA) grant to restore wetland on the Lang/Rieger tracts. They are using
the money spent by the District and Cit y as a “partner match.” Having partners enhances the
likelihood of garnering this funding. Larry stated that restoration of the dike should be a priority
and included with the project.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANY OTHER BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY
LAW
Greg suggested that a canoe/kayak launching dock be placed at the channel on the John Lang
tract of Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area.
ADJOURNMENT
Greg motioned to adjourn at 7:58 pm.
