Private stocking of public lake - 06/14/20 03:39 PM
Hello everyone, We live on public lake in MN with no public access, info below.
250 acres, spring-fed
natural species (Bluegills, Crappies, Northerns, Largemouth, bullhead, suckers)
landlocked by 6 landowners
Does anyone have any experience of stocking fish in this type of situation? I know you need a permit from the DNR and I know of DNR certified DNR hatchery is. My question below.
1) Would DNR allow walleye to be stocked if they are not natural? I have caught some walleyes, but I do not believe they are natural to to the lake.
2) how hard is it to get a permit? costs?
3) Any experience setting up lake association? i assume that might be helpful to get alignment with the six landowners
If i should haves posted in a specific forum let me know....didn't see a logical one.
