Fishing Admission
A professional analysis of Fish Lake during the fall of 2017 provided us with an in depth understanding of lake habitats. The news is good! Our fish population is growing, in part, due to the catch and release status we imposed after the winter of 2013 caused a fish kill. To support the continued recovery of our lake’s habitats we’re launching several initiatives. Some of these include stocking the lake with fingerling northern pike, continuous encouragement of the harvest and removal of carp and restoring catch and keep status every June. Before June we will allow fishing on a catch and release basis to allow spawning. .
Limits below are posted at the lake and in registration / concessions

These campers only Carp Fishing Tournaments will be a blast! Participation is free, rowboats and lifejacket use will also be free (an adult must sign a waiver and occupy the boat) and we’ll provide a bag to hold carp that are caught! What a deal! You can also buy corn (the preferred bait for carp) for $1.
The heaviest bag of carp will win $25 in Fish Lake Beach bucks redeemable at registration / concessions. NOTE: Participants over 15 must have a current IDNR license.
