*Cedar Lake Aquatic Invasive Species Project is APPROVED*
Earlier this spring, the CLCC sponsored a petition to the Clearwater River Watershed District (CRWD) for a property tax assessment for funds to control Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). On September 14th, the CRWD Board of Managers approved the project. We had a solid show of Cedar Lake residents at the public hearing that evening and several drove out special to attend. The approval of this project is another important milestone for our lake community. With this funding mechanism in place, we can focus energies on reducing the spread of AIS, detection, and early response. The amount of our AIS project is $16,000/year which works out to about $57/unit per year.
CLCC 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.
- CLCC managed a very successful curly-leaf pondweed treatment in 2011. Approx 11 acres were treated on May 27th with excellent results. Particularly noticeable was the decrease on the south end of the lake.
- CLCC also managed a very successful Eurasian treatment in 2011. Apprx 10 acres of EWM were treated with a success rating of excellent.
Please see our Water Quality page for more on the treatments of curly leaf pondweed and EWM.

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
