PSC Lake Enhancement

THE LAKE IS CATCH AND RELEASE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
THIS APPLIES TO ALL SPECIES - INCLUDING MINNOWS

Preliminary work has started on the Lake area improvements that were approved by members at the October meeting. The 3 new bottom based aeration/diffusers have been installed and the surface aerator will be installed seasonally. The first round of stocking, which will be used to establish the lake as a  bluegill/bass ecosystem, has already taken place. Below is a list of the species that were involved in the initial stocking:

• 25 lb - Fathead Minnow
• 25 lb - Golden Shiner Minnow
• 100 - Bluegill Sunfish 3.5-5"
• 100 - Hybrid Bluegill 3.5-5"
  
• 50 - Largemouth Bass 5-7"

The submerged underwater structures that are used to improve the pond ecosystem have been put into place. Most of these structures are manufactured to be tangle free, making them easier to fish around in comparison to wooden structures. See the map below for current placement and examples of the these installed structure(s) and a map at the bottom of the page that was supplied by Jones Lake Management that shows approximate depths for Lake.
Note: Even though these are designed to be tangle free, you can see by the photo examples below that structures, such as the nursery structure, could present an issue if you are casting a spoon and let it sink to the bottom before you start to retrieve it.
