We'll be discussing our next actions regarding clearing the weeds from the lake. Hope to see you then!

Fishing on the lake

This is a reminder asking all to “fish wisely.” More than one neighbor has seen people on the lake (pulling bass out). It is not yet bass season. By state regulation bass fishing must be catch and release until the third Saturday in June. Allowing fish to be pulled prior to that date ruins the fishing for the rest of us.

Remember that this lake is for all Crooked Lake homeowners. If you are allowing guests on the lake, please remind them that they are also expected to fish wisely and follow state regulations. It would be best if they could use your own craft. Please tell them that if they bring any water craft onto the lake, it needs to have been cleaned and dry before being put in our water. Boats constitute a major source of propagation of invasive weeds into the lake.

Let’s work together to self regulate and avoid involvement by the DEC or other authorities.

Update from DEC

We heard back from our letter to the DEC. David & Melanie and Sue & Tom both wrote. The response was disappointing. A copy of the letter is below. (if you click on the document it will get to a readable size)

Check out the watershed

Took a slow drive around the lake today. Without the leaves I got a much better sense of how extensive the wetlands are. Took a few pictures of water sources to the lake.
