2009 Fall Electrofishing Summary Report
The results are in, go to the Fox Lake Inland Lake District site to see all the details.
CARP REMOVAL
Steve Kallenbach, commercial carp fisherman, removed nearly forty thousand pounds of carp from Fox Lake in mid November and reported that he did not net any small carp and stated that carp fry are probably being eaten by game fish in the lake.
Fish Stocking for 2009 is now complete, 335 Northern and 1,350 Walleye and 10,000 Perch are now in the lake with the help of some great volunteers! Thank you!

FLPO STOCKING 2008
Update: On 9/19/08 around 12,000 perch, 2/3 in the 3-5" size and 1/3 in the 5-7" length, were carried by bucketload into Fox Lake by Fox Lake Property Owner volunteers. See pictures above. These fish totalled $5,000. Another $5,000 was spent on stocking 3,500 walleye in the 5-7" size. At a later date some northern will be put in, 11-20" size at a cost of $6.00 per fish, totalling $2,225.00......that brings 2008 stocking by the FLPO to $12,225.00! The largest amount ever! Joining and supporting the FLPO helps to do this along with many other pursuits to make our lake a great place to play.
Previous fish stocking 2008 information:
At the 4/5/08 FLPO meeting it was noted that the DNR will NOT be doing any stocking this year, due to VHS virus. The Board unanimously voted to increase the already earmarked funds of $3,680 to $10,000 for this years fish stocking, divided evenly between walleye and perch. Dates to be announced and help will be required.
Suggestion also made to post $1.00 donation to fish stocking at each lake boat launch.
There are still 4 tagged Carp in the lake, each one is worth $100!
STOCKING DONE 2007
On Tuesday, September 25, 2007 the Perch were stocked into Fox Lake at the Town Park. Louie Leizinger got the call early Monday and had to find volunteers at the twelfth hour! Luckily he found these staunch individuals to help out landing approximatey 15,000 lively perch into the lake. .JPG)

In early September, approximately 575 beautiful, healthy, full of energy Northern were stocked into the lake. Average size, 12-14"! Gollon Fish Hatchery came with their truck and about 12 volunteers bucket brigaded them into the lake. Not one floater. Look for another stocking in about 2 weeks, when we'll have our Perch.
