LOVEWELL RESERVOIR INLET CLOSED
TO FISHING THROUGH APRIL 8
Move designed to protect
spawning walleye; closure March 1 through April 8
March 8, 2007 - Historically, when water
is released into Lovewell Reservoir by the Bostwick Irrigation
District, fish are attracted to the inlet area. This year, that
release will coincide with the walleye spawning season. When
this has occurred in the past, illegal snagging of walleye has
occurred. For this reason, the inlet area will be closed by posted
notice to all fishing from Thursday, March 1, through Sunday,
April 8.
Since 1988, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and
Parks has managed Lovewell to produce large mature walleye for
broodstock and a high-quality fishery by enforcing an 18-inch
minimum length limit. Although Lovewell will not be used as a
walleye egg collection site this year, it is still necessary
to protect these fish from legal as well as illegal harvest during
the spawning season, when they are most vulnerable. By doing
so, better walleye fishing will be maintained throughout the
season.
