CLCC 2011 Picnic and Music on the Water—Smashing success


WOW---what a fun time at the CLCC Picnic and Music on the Water. Over 230 attended the picnic lunch at Camp Courage. At one point in the after noon there were almost 60 boats filled with lake people listening to the great music of Preston and Paulzine .
It was perfect weather, with wonderful food, plenty of fellowship, and great raffle items. The kids had a blast with the games.  At the sand bar we swam, danced, visited, and enjoyed an afternoon of complete relaxation.  



Cedar Lake Conservation Club receives Star Lake Award

Cedar Lake Conservation Club (CLCC) is pleased to announce that it has received a Star Lake Award, which was established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2008 to encourage lake associations to actively protect and enhance Minnesota waters.

The Star Lake designation recognizes organizations that have shown exemplary stewardship of their resources through writing & implementing a comprehensive lake management plan. 

This award came with a $2,720 grant that will help fund CLCC projects:
  • Increase native vegetation
  • Control invasive species
  • Preserve a healthy & diverse fishery
  • Gather & monitor data
  • Conduct educational activities
Minnesota's State Legislature formally established a Star Lakes and Rivers program in 2008 (Minnesota Statutes 2008 103B.701). This legislation also creates a  Star Lake Board charged with promoting the program, developing more specific and detailed procedures and criteria for applicants, formally designating Star Lakes and Star Rivers, and implementing and overseeing on-going program operations.

For more information, please contact Kathy Jonsrud, president of CLCC at kjonsrud@yahoo.com

Walleye Stocking

Between October 3-5, 2011, the DNR completed their walleye stocking on Cedar Lake. Approximately 315 pounds, 11,210 walleye fingerlings were stocked. The DNR indicated that they may have a surplus of fish and may be back to Cedar Lake this fall with even more walleye fingerlings.

On Saturday October 16, 2010 the Fish and Wildlife Committee completed its first ever stocking of walleye fingerlings in Cedar Lake. After two years of raffles at our Spring Fling and Annual Fall Dinner, and with some generous donations, we were able to generate $2,065!! With these monies we were able to purchase over 1900 fingerlings that were between four and eight inches in length, weighing 125 lbs.  A permit was obtained from the DNR and the walleye fingerlings were purchased from West Central Bait and Fisheries in New London MN. Ray Howard was gracious enough to offer his pickup truck for the transportation of the fingerlings to the Lake. We were then greeted at the release site  (the public  access  on R6) by some members of the CLCC Board and friends.  Everyone was excited, and so were the fish, that quickly took off, looking for security in native vegetation after their release.  You can watch a short clip of the release
