Hello Garfield Lake Association members,

In the following link you will find the minutes of our GLA Board meeting from  last Wednesday, August 19, 2020 which has also been posted to our website.  We encourage you to take a moment and go through it and take a look at the rest of our website while you are there.  

We have just received the initial results of the Garfield Fish Survey and have posted it to the GLA website.  It is very interesting.

Our August GLA  Board meeting covered the following areas: 

• August is the time to look at the Zebra Mussel sampling tubes weekly; how we can help our members look for Zebra Mussels when they pull their water equipment in the fall;  
• ways to keep and use the small northerns we catch in the lake allowing for bigger fish in the future; 
• Water Quality test #4 was done with 2 members along;  
• what does it cost to do additional Zebra Mussel testing in 2021 to better pinpoint where on the lake the veligers are being found; 
• when will the DNR pick the lakes for Sunfish Limit reductions; 
• a summary of the 2020 DNR Fish Survey take in July;  
• the status of a CO assigned to Garfield; 
• 2021 AIS Boat Launch inspection funding; 
• the benefits and cost of doing a Vegetation survey in 2021

We are also looking for stories and ideas from our members to be published on the web site.  If you have something you think others would like to hear about the lake and or thoughts about the lake please send it to us or post your idea in the web sites COMMENT section. 

Again that website is:  https://garfieldlakeassociation.com/

We hope you are being safe and enjoying the lake during this wonderful summer!
