Fishing still pretty good on Sanford Lake http://www.ourmidland.com/sports/articl ... 43a93.html
Snippets:
Of a species that draws more local angler interest, Baker said, "We know the pike population (on Sanford Lake) is plenty healthy." Three straight years of surveying have identified the lake as a potential source of northern pike brood stock for hatchery production, if techniques are proven to disinfect eggs so they don't carry viral hemorrhagic septicemia.
And yes, there are muskies in the lake, too, including monsters like the 51-incher speared earlier this winter whose captor hasn't been identified.
"There's been no real change in muskie populations or management," said Baker. "Like other mature programs, we still plant them when we can get fish."

Watch the local Midland papers for a press release today. I am involved with a newly formed organization, The Sanford Lake Preservation Association (SLPA), which consists of local homeowners and interested parties. The SLPA has secured funding to complete the remaining repairs needed and, if Boyce Hydro executes a contract with the SLPA in connection with this funding, we should have the water back up on Sanford in time for opening day. Going forward the SLPA will be working with the local homeowner's association, municipalities, county and other interested bodies to attempt to come to a long term solution in connection with the dispute with Boyce.

We lose a big fish or two to spearing every year pretty much anyway. So, this year we lost 3 instead of 1 or 2. It hurts beacuse at some point we will be down to very few big girls in there but I think they are still there to be had.
