Approve Issuance of Liquor & Sunday Liquor License for Oakwood Supper Club for the period of 07/01 /16 -06/30/17 Statewide DNR Muskie Water Initiative Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Officials reported that the DNR is designating Gull Lake near Brainerd and the Fairmont chain of lakes in southern Minnesota as new muskie management lakes in Minnesota. No other lakes in Minnesota will be added to the muskie stocking program at this time. Three lakes in Otter Tail County were being considered; however, public input showed negative support for muskie stocking in the County. On a statewide basis, the DNR would like to identify three more lakes for stocking muskies in the future, with one being located in the northwest region of the State. Jim Wolters, Area Fisheries Supervisor, provided a PowerPoint presentation and summarized comments and concerns received since the public input process was initiated in August of 2015. He also reviewed fisheries data and the effects of fish populations due to muskie stocking. The DNR data shows that muskies have been present in Pelican Lake for thirty-eight years. The data indicates a decrease in the northern pike population and no decrease in the walleye population. Commissioners complimented the DNR for responding to public input. Discussion took place regarding how surveys are conducted and the value of long term data when analyzing environmental effects. Commissioners encouraged the DNR to boost family fishing opportunities to introduce youth to the sport and increase family tourism in the area.
