Dear Mr. Olson:
Enclosed you will find a copy of the CLAP Memorandum of Understanding
for Lakewood Lake of Salina. This copy is for your files.
My files on Lakewood Lake indicate that we have not made an assessment
of the lake since 1967. We have however stocked fish in several years
since 1967.
I feel that we need to make an assessment of the lake's sport fishery
and develop a management plan. Perhaps measures_other than stocking
sould be taken to improve the fishery.
I plan to make the necessary fish population evaluations sometime
this spring or summer. After this assessment is made, I will meet with
you to discuss possible management actions.
•
I plan to be in Salina sometime in February or March and would like to
stop in your office to discuss the lake. If I can be of any assistance
to you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
sZageleAZ
