Rice St. <br /> St. Paul, MN 55126 <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> This is in response to our phone conversation of February 10, 1986 in which <br /> you asked for Fisheries recommendations for potential aeration of Spring <br /> (Wood) Lake (Spring Lake Park, and Moundsview) this winter to protect the fish <br /> population from winterkill. The 1984 fish population assessment for Spring <br /> Lake shows a population dominated by black bullheads, green sunfish, and <br /> hybrid sunfish, typical for a frequent winterkill lake. The few gamefish <br /> species sampled were of very small size or very low abundance. Expenditures <br /> to prevent winterkill on Spring Lake are not presently justified. <br /> Our management recommendations for Spring Lake are as described in a letter to <br /> Bruce Anderson, Director of Parks and Recreation in Moundsview (see attached <br /> copy of letter) . A comprehensive fish management program can provide signifi- <br /> cant angling opportunities on Spring Lake. The Department of Natural Re- <br /> sources wishes to work closely with all interested groups in the implementa- <br /> tion of this proposal. With the support of the area's citizens, we can make <br /> the proposal for fish management at Spring Lake a reality to the benefit of 1 <br /> all concerned. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Bruce Gilbertson <br /> Area Fisheries Supervisor <br /> Region VI <br /> cc: Duane Shodeen, Regional Fisheries Supervisor, Region VI <br /> Bruce Anderson, Director of Parks & Recreation, Moundsview <br /> City of Moundsview <br /> • <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
