December 26, 2002 Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee Established by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, to improve and maintain fishery resources through better communication and partnership. Northern Inland Lakes Citizens Fishery Advisory Committee Meeting Friday, April 27, 2018 Tuscarora Township Hall Indian River MI Approved Minutes Attendees: Bob Miller, Jim Chamberlin, Paul Borg, Dennis Fauver, Gil Archambo, Dave Hutto, Wayne Blomberg, Irv Dedow, Doug Dingey, Frank Krist, Tim Cwalinski, Tim Rosochacki, Eric Bottorff, Richard Hill, Randy Claramunt, Dave Borgeson, Mike Vigneau, David Kolar, Rick Fowler, Roy Tassava, Mike Beurle, Tim Howell, Dan Collard, Mike Parrott, Rick Johnson, David Bock, Roger Selvig, Theresa Krist, Bill Parsons, Patrick Hanchin. Welcome, introductions Attendees introduced themselves. Frank and Tim remembered Terry Weber, his passion for fishing, and contributions to this group. They encouraged everyone to continue participating in this group and if others are interested please bring them along to the meetings. Tim indicated there were several handouts regarding agenda topics available to attendees in the back of the room. Burt Lake State Park boating access site improvements, Black River Marina purchase, and Mullett Lake Jewell Road Access Site Renovation (Keith Cheli DNR Parks and Recreation Regional Field Planner and Richard Hill DNR Parks and Recreation District Supervisor). Rich Hill talked briefly about the Parks and Recreation Division structure and this link will connect to the flow chart, https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/Recreation_OrgChart_360022_7.pdf He then discussed the Jewell Road Public Access Site located along Mullett Lake. Previously, this site had a gravel parking lot, but it has been paved. The entrance and layout were changed to improve flow and parking. The launch was upgraded from a single ramp to a double ramp. Building ramps is a skill and the Parks and Recreation Division maintenance crews do a very good job of installing these which saves the Department money. Lighting was installed along with a walkway. A silt fence was used for erosion control. The Burt Lake State Park Access Site receives much use, but the traffic flow is not good currently. Rich showed a preliminary design to improve the access, including a triple launch and 25 more trailer spots and 10 car parking spots. Engineering plans are completed which should allow for construction during 2019. Burt Lake State Park Boat Launch Improvements The main access site for Black Lake is at the Onaway State Park. Launching space and parking are limited at this site. In addition, this boat launch is located on the far south end of the lake, so it is not convenient for anglers that want to fish in the popular north end fishing grounds. Progress is being made toward the DNR purchasing the Black Lake Marina Property which would provide a major Public Access site on the north end of the lake. Since it is over 5 miles from Onaway State Park to reach the north end, the purchase of the old marina would allow for safer boating during poor weather and provide a convenient launch for anglers and boaters on both ends of the lake. The DNR Real Estate office is working with the landowner to purchase the Black Lake Marina property. An appraisal was completed. Rich was asked about the timing of appraisal and potential purchase, noting that the owner has been entertaining other potential offers. Rich said he will talk to Real Estate Division representative to determine the status of the process. It was emphasized that this is a very important acquisition for Black Lake anglers since much fishing occurs on at that end of the lake. Rich was asked if gas would be available if the property was purchased. Rich said that having gas is a possibility since the DNR can have a concession agreement if there was enough interest. 2 Proposed layout of the Black Lake Marina property if purchased by the DNR 3 Major improvements will be made to the Aloha State Park Boat Launch. The parking area will be redeveloped which will significantly increase the number of spaces and improve traffic flow. Aloha State Park Boat Launch Parking and Traffic Flow Improvements Rich mentioned that improvements will be made at the Cheboygan River Lock and Dam Access Site. They received funding for preliminary designs for the area where the bypass valves send water downstream. The project will likely include some gabion work. There are plans to do an upgrade to the Grand Lake DNR Public Access Site on the south end of the lake during late May to early June. There is never a good time to do construction work at access sites, but efforts are made to minimize conflicts with users. Unfortunately, the best weather to do the work is during warmer dry conditions which may interfere with some boating activities. The public boat launch on the north end of the lake is also being improved this year but the work will be done later in the year to ensure that anglers and boaters have at least one boat launch open at all times. The work at this site will be done in September. The Grand Lake Sportsmen Club is coordinating this project with the Presque Isle County Road Commission. 4 Rich thanked the Grand Lake group and indicated the Parks and Recreation Division is working on several other projects throughout Northern Michigan. MDNR/Black Lake Association walleye stocking Memorandum of Agreement (Dave Borgeson DNR Northern Lake Huron Unit Supervisor and Roger Selvig Black Lake Association). Dave explained the agreement between the DNR and Black Lake Association. It is more cost effective to stock DNR spring fingerling walleye instead of the costlier fall fingerlings that the Association has been stocking. So instead of stocking walleye, the Black Association will be providing funds to assist the DNR in rearing spring fingerling walleye. The money will be used to purchase fertilizer and other needed items. With funding for such programs becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, the DNR is seeking partnerships to help continue this important work. The Black Lake Association is not buying walleye from the state but instead helping to rear them. The money has already been allocated to the DNR budget, but will be used when needed. Fish Order Change on the Black River from Kleber Dam to Red Bridge (Tim Cwalinski Senior DNR biologist). Tim explained the proposed change to fishing regulations on the Black River from Kleber Dam to Red Bridge. The proposal would open that section of the river to fishing from October through March. This will still protect the sturgeon from April 1 through June 15. With the trout and sturgeon closures, this section of the Black River was one of the most regulated bodies of water in the State. There are few brook trout in this section of the river, yet there is interest in catching bass and other species in the fall and early winter. There were no objections to the proposed changes from the attendees. Bill Parsons, fisheries biologist from the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians was on the river much this past year and he saw very low fishing pressure in the area other than at the dam and Red Bridge. Fish Order Change - Mullett Lake walleye regulations discussion (DNR Staff). History of Walleye Regulations Estimating Adult Walleye Abundance: Patrick Hanchin reviewed the procedure for determining walleye abundance in Michigan lakes. The best method of estimating the abundance of adult walleye is by conducting surveys. If a recent survey is not available, then the Wisconsin method of estimating walleye populations may be used. This method is a regression or formula based on lake acreage, which is not necessarily conducive to estimating walleye abundance in Michigan lakes. Determining Harvest Quotas: To ensure the safe harvest of walleyes, no more than 35% of the adult walleye population is permitted to be harvested each year. There are two methods from the 2000 Consent Decree that the Tribes can choose to allocate the walleye harvest between the State and Tribal fishers. A lower Threshold Level of Exploitation Procedure allows the Tribes to harvest up to 10% (State would receive 25%) of the estimated adult walleye population in lakes 1,000 acres and larger and harvest up to 5% (State would receive 30%) of the adult walleyes in lakes less than 1,000 acres. The Tribes may also choose a higher Allocation Level of Exploitation Procedure which would allow the Tribes and State to each harvest 17.5% of the estimated adult population. This method requires much more monitoring of harvests by both the State and the Tribes. 1998 Adult Walleye Population Estimate: This survey was conducted using legal-size marked walleyes with a creel survey recapture. This resulted in a population estimate of 14,350 legal-size walleyes. 2007 Adult Walleye Population Estimate: In 2007, the Consent Decree was signed, and the Wisconsin method for wild walleye lake systems was used and estimated 49,740 adult walleye were present in Mullett Lake. 5 2009 Adult Walleye Population Estimate: The 2007 estimate of 49,740 adult walleye was thought to be extremely high so the State conducted a population estimate in 2009. The survey used electrofishing recapture methodology. This effort resulted in a population estimate of 2,648 adult walleye. In 2009 (for the 2010 spearing season), the Tribes declared the use of the Allocation Level of Exploitation Procedure. Based on the population estimate of 2,648 and an exploitation level of 17.5%, both the State and the Tribes would have harvest limits of 463 fish under this scenario. Based on the 2009 creel survey, it was estimated that State anglers would reach this limit by July.

  • Download the Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trails Plan
    Water Trail Plan Inland Waterway and Straits Area Cheboygan and Emmet Counties Funded by: Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Michigan Coastal Management Program, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality with support from the Emmet County, Cheboygan County, Mackinaw City, and volunteers. June 2014 1 Inland Waterway and Straits Area Water Trail Plan Introduction The Inland Waterway is a 40 mile long historic water route that connects Lake Huron by way of Cheboygan, Indian River, Alanson, and Conway and with series of long portages at the headwaters to Petoskey State Park and Lake Michigan. A coastal route, part of the Huron Shores Blueways, connects the City of Cheboygan to Mackinaw City and the Straits of Mackinac. Like the interior water trails, the coastal waters have been used for transportation for thousands of years. The Inland Waterway has long been marketed as the motor boating paradise. Sitting along the banks of the Indian River on a summer afternoon and watching a steady stream of motored craft pass by, attests to the marketing success. There has never been a multi-community effort to organize and promote a paddle trail. Human-powered quiet water sports are among the fastest growing outdoor recreation activities. Combined with other active sports facilities such as the North Central State Trail, North Western State Trail and the North Country Trail, the water trail will bring visitors to the area, add to the quality of life for residents and enhance the rural-recreation sense of place. Furthermore, development of the water trail represents a regional, multi organization effort and will support economic development in the region of the state dependent upon recreational visitors.

  • A Lake Named Douglas
    Douglas Lake, in Cheboygan County of Northern Michigan, is a beloved spot for many, including the author and his family. That connection and the author’s passion for history led to this: a well-researched look at lake and region. The author completed this effort of many years near the end of his life, with editing help from his daughter. And there was still more he wished to learn about . A Lake Named Douglas Its history in brief By Gordon L. Dolton ©2014 A Lake Named Douglas By Gordon L. Dolton Edited by Gail Dolton Blaskowski Introduction Scan a map of Northern Michigan and it's easy to overlook the oddly shaped blue-filled outline in favor of its better-known watery siblings. Between the town of Pellston and Interstate 75 is where you’ll find Douglas Lake. Yes, that's Burt Lake just south and popular Mullett Lake close by. By the numbers, Douglas Lake is a substantial lake, but it is an obvious third in its neighborhood. It is a disconnected shirttail on the well-known inland waterway between Great Lakes Huron and Michigan. Still, Douglas has significance in the fabric of Northern Michigan as a gathering place, resource and playground. Generations of many -- Native Americans, farmers, entrepreneurs, resorters -- have ties to the lake. Important also is how Douglas Lake has figured prominently in research and education for scientists and students, who still work along its shores to explore and understand the natural world. One of the most powerful transformative natural forces in Earth’s history gave Douglas Lake its start.
