Lake Underwood Nimrod Club Members,
On Monday June 10th, Princeton Hydro will begin carrying out a several day fishery survey on Lake Underwood. This work is related to the fishery survey that was conducted last fall. The data from this survey and the fall survey will be used to inform lake management decisions moving forward. The survey will be conducted using two primary methods of capture, netting and electrofishing. To avoid any problems with either deployed Princeton Hydro gear or member property, while on the lake please steer clear of marker buoys as there are likely nets or rope below. Some nets may be marked by two buoys in a straight line. In that case it’s advisable to avoid steering watercraft between the marker buoys as it could result in damage to the nets and/or your boat motors/fishing gear.
In addition, as mentioned above, Princeton Hydro personnel will also be performing electrofishing in the shoreline shallower water. We ask that members refrain from approaching the Princeton Hydro vessel while it is fishing so that safety can be maintained for Princeton Hydro staff and club members, and allow the survey work to proceed efficiently while it is conducted.
Barring adverse weather conditions, completion of the survey will occur on Wednesday June 12th after which normal boating and fishing activities can resume on the lake.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
