President's Report: Gary covered many current topics and projects including carp removal where he noted that a funnel-style trap was installed in the out-flow culvert which has proven successful where carp can go through it, but can't get back; walleye stocking—the Association paid $3,600 for 6,000 fingerlings in October 2022, with the Brandon Sports Club reimbursing us $500 along with other individual contributions. Gary thanked all the contributors and stated we will continue to fundraise to stock on even years (as the DNR stocks on odd years.)
Q & A: A member brought up the subject of the water level on the lake being low. It was discussed that the level comes from snowpack and runoff and recedes through an outflow culvert. Natural evaporation and lower amounts of snow and rainfall (we are designated to be in a drought cycle) have caused the water level to recede. It is noted that no one has been controlling the water level, other than natural causes.
Door Prize: Lee Heine won the embroidered tea towel (lettering "Red Rock Lake") made by
Carol McCannon.
Meeting adjourned: ll:20am. Respectfully Submitted by Roger McCannon,Secretary
