Stocking and Rearing

The goal for the stocking committee is to coordinate and deliver a number of items related to our local fisheries.

Discussed at the November 2008 Board meeting with our local DNR Fish Manager Ben Heussner, it was decided that with regard to VHSv and rearing, the Delafield pond would be best to serve as a ‘Public Fishing Hole’ for the youth and handicapped of the region. This concept has been discussed by the Board and with the DNR’s approval, further discussion with the City of Delafield will take place. Installation of a pier for better access is one of the subjects to be considered. This would take place in 2010, as with all projects, time and resources need to be aligned. The DNR will assist with the signage as this will be classified as an ‘urban fishery’ and will receive stocking from them in the early summer of each year their program exists.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or would like to join the committee, please contact any committee or board member.
