Wildlife Management

The Lake Washington Improvement Association’s goal is support and be active members in the local Minnesota Fisheries plans for monitoring and managing the fish populations in Lake Washington. We also support wildlife management in conjunction with the DNR to enhance lake recreation. Wildlife and especially fishing are very important parts of the culture of Lake Washington.

Our Goals

Strategies to Support our Goal

  • Work with local DNR office to develop cormorant management for the local halo of lakes.

  • Maintain open communication with the DNR and support their fish management plans for the lake.

  • Stay informed of the fish populations and what we as association members can do to support fish management and support fish surveys.

  • Look for ways to encourage healthier fish environments.

  • Encourage lake residents not to feed waterfowl to reduce the likelihood of AIS introduction and swimmers itch.
