Barb Appelhans sent these pictures of Thursday's fish shocking. The boat extensions send an electric current through the water temporarily stunning the fish so they can be netted and counted as well as checked for health. Then information collected will be used to evaluate quantities and species of fish we need to stock this fall to keep our lake a top fishery. You can also see some of the submerged weed growth clusters. Joe Rush, our lake biologist, was aided in the lead boat by Jim Brefeld. The trailer boat was manned by Tom Pinkowski sr., Barb, and I am not sure of the other volunteer.
