REGIONAL—The Minnesota DNR has set dates for recreational netting of whitefish and cisco on seven lakes in the Tower fisheries work area. These lakes are Schedule I waterbodies, which are more susceptible to sudden changes that impact water temperatures and are opened and closed on a 48-hour notice posted on the DNR website and other public places.
The following lakes: Vermilion, Basswood, Fall and Newton will be open to netting Friday, Oct. 21, through Sunday, Nov. 6 (minimum 3.5-inch mesh size for Vermilion and Newton lakes and minimum 1.75-inch mesh size for Basswood and Fall lakes).
Shagawa will be open to netting Friday, Oct. 28, through Sunday, Nov. 20 (minimum 3.5-inch mesh size).
Bear Island and Ojibway lakes will be open to netting Friday, Nov. 25, through Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023 (minimum 1.75-inch mesh size).
Vermilion, Basswood, Fall, Newton and Shagawa lakes are designated as infested with spiny waterflea so netters should review rules that help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
