DNR
seeks input on Winnebago Walleye Management Plan
OSHKOSH, Wis.
– The Department of Natural Resources has scheduled three public meetings on a
proposed update to the Winnebago Walleye Management Plan. The meetings will
also offer the public an update on the status of the Winnebago System walleye
population.
Each meeting
will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with the first occurring Monday, March 19,
at the JP Coughlin Center, 625 E. County Road Y, Oshkosh. The second public
meeting is set for Wednesday, March 21, at the Engler Center for the Performing
Arts, 530 W. Main St., Chilton, and the third is set for Wednesday, March 28,
at the Mosquito Hill Nature Center, N3880 Rogers Road, New London.
The Winnebago
system is well known both for its healthy, self-sustaining walleye population
and the decades-long history of public input in support of fisheries
management. This is the first major update to the plan since it originated in
1991. Winnebago System waters include lakes Poygan, Winneconne, Butte des Morts
and Winnebago and all their tributaries, including the Wolf and upper Fox
rivers, from their mouths upstream to the first dam.
