Woodland Park Lake

TO: All Woodland Park Residents:

LAKE UPDATE as of 5/22/2023

The lake was electoshocked on May 1 by Southeastern Pond Management.to determine the types, numbers and sizes of the fish. This does not harm the fish as they are released once measurements taken. Based on their data and observations, they reported the lake was doing well. They did report a concern that there was a smaller number of 3-5" brim/ sunfish. This is due to being overeaten by catfish and bass. To address this they recommended the following:

1. Harvest ALL catfish caught - eat, give them away or trash them.
2.Harvest bass 15" and smaller
3. Release all brim/sunfish smaller than 6" in length.

Everyone should try to follow these recommendations the best they can to improve the lake balance of fish.
