DWR changes Bluegill regulations.

I had the privilege of being part of the team of anglers that helped decide on the future of Pelican. We spent a bit of time going over all the options and closing the lake down wasn’t really considered because the problem with the lake had to do with an over population of carp. As you know, carp is nearly impossible to eradicate As such, a decision to use rotenone was decided on and to install an elaborate screening system to prevent carp from entering the lake again.

Currently, visibility is back up to 15’ again, which is what it used to be like. Thousands of 3” bluegill have been released into the lake and pre-spawn bass were also released.

I’m very optimistic for the lakes future and I’m excited for 2021. Fishing should be great!
