Conservation of this great fishery
Mill Lake is an important fishing destination and is home to a diverse range of fish species. However, over-fishing, habitat degradation, and the introduction of invasive species have threatened the health of the lake’s fish populations. As a result, conservation efforts have been implemented to restore and protect the lake’s ecosystem, including the implementation of fishing regulations, habitat restoration projects, and the removal of invasive species. These conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining the health and sustainability of Mill Lake’s fish populations, which not only support recreational fishing but also contribute to the ecological balance of the lake and the surrounding ecosystem.
It takes all of us...

Catch-and-Release
Practice catch-and-release fishing using barbless hooks and releasing the fish back into the water as quickly as possible. This allows the fish to continue to grow and reproduce, ensuring healthy populations for future generations.

Follow fishing regulations
It's essential to follow fishing regulations set by local authorities to prevent over-fishing and protect vulnerable species. Regulations may include catch limits, size restrictions, and seasonal closures.

Dispose of fishing gear properly
Fishing gear, such as hooks, lines, and sinkers, can cause harm to fish and other wildlife if left in the water. Be sure to dispose of your gear correctly by taking it with you or using designated disposal areas.

Support conservation efforts
Support conservation efforts by joining or donating to organizations that protect and restore fish populations and their habitats. This can help fund research, education, and advocacy initiatives for maintaining healthy fish populations.
