The high temperature for the day was minus 2 degrees and there were 115 entrants in the fishing contest. For the first time in the 8 years that the BSLA Fisheree has been held, a Catch & Release option was offered for the larger gamefish. Five of the 19 gamefish registered were released alive back to the lake and we look forward to an increased participation rate next year. Bill Mundt also won the $50 drawing for the release category – and he graciously donated it back to the lake association for our various improvement projects! Our first 2016 project is fish crib building on March 5, any help would be welcomed, we will be constructing the cribs at the boat landing.

Thanks to our many local businesses for their continued support. Shop and dine local!
