I want to remind everyone to start filling out your Angler Diary and collecting scale samples. This applies to all lakes and please record all trips whether you catch fish or not.
If you don't have an Angler Diary and scale sample envelopes they will be available at the sattelite meetings from:
Pete LeBaron (Midland/Sanford)
Jim Watts (Utica)
Phil Turk (Novi)
Dave Ulery (Grand Rapids)
Brian Perkins (Kalamazoo)

Are fin clip/scale samples to be turned in at the end of the year like the diaries? or should we get them to the DNR a.s.a.p ?J.
It will be easiest to collect everything at once, there's no hurry on the samples, keep them with your diary. If things change and we need to collect samples early we'll meet the request of the DNR at that time.
Watch the out of the water time. If the water gets warm like last summer don't even bother with the sample, fish survival is more of a priority than collecting a sample.
