BSLA FISH CRIB BUILDING

On March 13, 2010 the Association once again built fish cribs.

This year 12 cribs were completed and on June 9th the DNR placed the cribs in front of the A-Frame house on the West side of Butternut Lake just North of the narrows.  These cribs extend northwest towards the property just past the A-Frame.

Remember to save your Christmas trees after the holidays to donate for use in the building next years cribs.  The 2011 drop-off site will be posted on this website.

SKIING and PWC’s

With summer boating in full swing, the Association recommends that for safety and courtesy reasons, the hours for water skiing, other towables, and PWC be limited to 10:00am to 7:00pm.

PUBLIC LAUNCH

The DNR has completed repairs to the public boat landing on Hwy B.  We ask that everyone refrain from “power loading” to keep further problems at the landing from occurring.

TROLLING

Motor trolling has been approved in Price and Ashland counties.  However, this does not take effect until next year.   If you see people trolling, you might remind them of this. Please be polite.
