Rusty Crayfish
The general impression of lake owners is that the Rusty Crayfish problem is in decline. It is very hard to quantify the infestation without a large number of volunteers systematically collecting and counting the crayfish.
If anyone has been trapping crayfish, please let Kevin know your counts or impression of the problem.
Zebra Mussels and Spiny Water Flees
The board has approved the annual testing for Zebra Mussels and Spiny Flee.
Monitoring The Boat Landing
Clearwater Lake Conservancy did not request addition Friday and Holidays hours for 2025.
Funding
The lake association asked for member donations and has pursued state, county and DNR grants to support our treatment plan.
Treatments Signatures
|
The DNR no longer requires an annual signature authorization for chemical treating. An implied consent is understood if guidelines are followed.
The DNR has confirmed we can notify owners by email, newsletter, flyers etc. of pending chemical treatment. Those that do not want chemical treatment should inform us of their preference for non-treatment. This is process we have followed for the last few years. According to the DNR, permission is not required for hand-pulling and chemical treatment greater than 150 feet from shore. |
If you do not want herbicide treatment in front of your property (within 150’), please contact:
