Lake Washington was sprayed on Monday.

Some say it doesn't hurt the eating fish after the annual spraying. Personally, I will C & R or hit another lake for a week or so. I wish the DNR would not allow spraying.

Sprayed for what? Weeds? Seems a little early for that.

I think everyone should call their Representative and let them know that you are against this. The DNR is forced to allow permits to kill vegetation. I believe killing vegetation is wrong they belong to all of the people of MN but if you live on a lake it gives you the right to destroy something that belongs to everyone.

Yep, weeds. They try to get aggressive with the curly leaf pondweed in hopes that native vegetation will take root.

Last year I saw hundreds of dead ears and crappies after the spraying. Coincidence?

What a joke. I'll be making a couple of phone calls.

I know that they started spraying Washington about four years ago and it sucks. The water should be very clear this time of year but now it looks like it should in the middle of July. What a bunch of B.S. They do it to a bunch of lakes in the cities and I think it ruins any chance of catching an eye in the weeds since they are almost all gone. My question is how can people who live on the lake have it sprayed when they only own the land and not the water.

I don't think it's the homeowners choice, I've never seen any info being asked for their opinions on this, I think the Lake Associations and the DNR are the ones to talk with

I have live'd on washington for about 9 years, they have been spraying for about 6 or 7 years for curly leaf pond weed. dnr says it does not harm fish. I think the timeing was bad this year. I love to fish and i do everychance i get. I am not saying it is right or wrong to do this, but before they started to spray , it was horrible to get around on alot of the lake. I think the crappie contest they have every year out here does more harm, last year 100 boats almost 1000 crappies caught when they were spawning.you can't tell me that does not hurt. if you want to voice your oppions or are interested in the lake, there is a meeting at westwood every third tuesday of the month, and it is open to everybody at 7pm. or go to the lakes web site and call a member of the lake associations.

      As crazy as that might sound, May 18th isn’t a bad guess.  We were on the lake yesterday and had somewhere around 30” of solid ice with some snow on top.  This is hard January-type ice.  No honeycombing, no chipping or slush.  In fact, my Dewalt hammer drill couldn’t take it.  It’s dead.   Another foot of snow on the way this week?  That won’t help.

      Try the area where Minnehaha Falls runs into the river up to the ford dam. I've just used jig and fathead. Been several years since I've fished down there, but saw a lot of people shore fishing there. Pretty snaggy down there.

      Never tried it down there, sounds like fun. Let us know how you did.  👍

      Entries sure rolled in when I offered the case of beer.  We could meet at my Stuntz Bay boathouse if that would work.  Close to the landing, could anchor in front of the boathouse, or could park your vehicle at by the boathouse.  Maybe we could require the winner to be present, LOL.

      Thinking about trying pool 2 (from shore) for the first time tomorrow morning, ideally looking for walleye. Anyone know any decent spots or what kind of baits I should use?   Thanks in advance

      I know the owner.  In fact we rode snowmobiles together a couple days after the fire.  He lost most of his belongings.  Sounds like it was electrical.
