July 13, 2024: Ruff Fish Tournament
Congratulations and thank you to our Ruff Fish anglers this year! We had close to 50 people fishing and removed 321 fish from the lake - the majority were carp, but 25 of the Koi hybrids! Weird!!! Doug and Becky Abel harvested the most fish landing 53 between them and caught the largest carp at 33.5". Congrats also to Dalton Thrall and Jake Ruch for the largest fish in the other categories.
It was a great day for anglers, young and old, between the Tournament and Fleet Farm's Free Kid's Fishing Day. Thanks to CAST Parents for partnering with us and selling Brats and Burgers at Wayside Park.
So many people to thank including all of our prize donors, Klein Auto for their sponsonship and Don (Red) Olmstead for stepping in for Myron on the day.
June 20, 2024: Chamber Golf Outing
For the Chamber Golf Outing this year, Pigeon Lake District sponsored hole #10 and entered a team of four fine competitors for the shotgun start round of Golf. The Pigeon Lake District team, Chris Meyer, Drew Lundt, Ray Walker and Jason Baribeau did a great job and enjoyed the great weather. They tied for first place! So the playoff between the two tied teams consisted of a round on the 3 toughest holes of the course. Team Pigeon Lake tied again on the first and second hole …... and missed it by one stroke on the 3rd hole! They did us proud and had a great day doing it!

May 25, 2024: Native Emergent Aquatic Plant Planting Party
On Saturday morning, May 25th we had the perfect weather for the Spring Planting Party.
We planted over 600 “emergent native aquatic plants” in the shallow water off Pine Row Point in Seven Maples. The purpose of these plants is to develop healthy habitat areas for nutrients, insects and small fish – the basis of our aquatic food chain. These native plants also compete with the invasive species of aquatic plants.
Several volunteers from Clintonville Rotary and many individuals (including Tom Lederer, of course!) were there to help! When I asked who was going into the water, I only had 3 volunteers…but I counted 11 people in the water at one stage! We finished in record time! We have put up temporary fencing around the planting zones to keep out the larger bottom feeding fish to give the plants their best chance to get established. Thanks to the volunteers and to our consultant, Emily Henrigillis.
We walked around the area to look at the plants that we put in on the shore last May and I was delighted to see that most of them are happy and healthy and getting established. Our pollinators will be happy as well. Thank you to our shoreline and aquatic gardeners!
