This is a public meeting on an upcoming walleye spawning reef project on Franklin Lake.
This meeting will discuss the results of a 2025 comprehensive survey of Franklin Lake and the changes that have been documented in the fishery over the past 50 years. The majority of this meeting will focus on the walleye population, which was once strong but has been below what is considered a “fishable” level over the past 20 years.
Public input will be sought on this proposed project, which will be constructed along U.S. Forest Service property to help rehabilitate the walleye population.
