Highland Lakes Annual Ice Fishing Derby Let's get ready to win the Stanley Cup of ice fishing! Our annual ice fishing derby is January 30th, 1 day only! You may start as early as you like and the trophy will be awarded at 4PM on the ice to the angler with the largest catch. This years fee of $10 per participant will go to our fish stocking fund. Fees will be collected on the ice by Ron and Jim. Please have cash ready. Herbicide Treatment of the LakeMcCloud will be doing a herbicide treatment on June 12th 2020. There are no swimming restrictions. We are only treating about 10% of the lake as we are doing spot treatments that target the Eurasion Water Milfoil. These areas were selected based on the lake scans and rake sampling of the areas to confirm the presence of EWM. There are small red buoys on the lake that mark the general areas of treatment. You are able to use the lake water to water your lawns but you should wait 3 days after treatment before using on any of your flowering plants.
Carp Fest 2020
This years Carp Fest will look a little different. Our fishing dates are May 14th to the 24th. We will also have two measuring dates for the carp. May 17th at 1:00 p.m. at Downey Park and again on May 24th at 1:00 p.m. at Downey Park. We will have a garbage bin available at the park for you to dispose of your caught carp. This year there will be no lunch at the park on Memorial Day like we have in the past. There also will be no prizes other than bragging rights for the most carp caught and the longest carp. So time to break out your fishing poles and load them up with your favorite carp bait. Please register at:

It has become a wonderful family tradition to fish for carp in mid May ending on Memorial Day with a picnic and games in Downey Park. To keep the carp species in check we encourage you to Catch and Cook or Catch and Dispose. We know many will be disappointed with this years lack of festivities but we all hope for a better event next year. Thanks to Ron J. and Mark R. for hosting this event for the past 20 years or so. Good luck and let's knock down the carp population. UPDATE: Fishing has been slow but here are a couple of catches. Eagle Sighting at Downey Park
On Monday April 20th 2020 an eagle was spotted in a tree at Downey Park. John S. was able to capture these patriotic bird. Also the wood ducks are back and were spotted by Maggie. If you have some amazing photos of more wildlife on Highland Lake be sure to share them with us.
Highland Lake Ice Fishing DerbyThis years Fishing Derby was a great success. We had around 12 anglers and a few visitors. The weather was in the 30's and the ice was thick. The fish starting biting early Saturday morning when Ron M. landing a 36" Northern Pike. That early morning catch set the bar high for the other fishermen. We saw plenty of other big ones when Ron J. caught a 32" Northern Pike. Both catches were released. The variety of fish landed consisted of crappy, walleye, small mouth bass and even a large mouth bass. Over $140.00 was raised for our Fish Stocking fund. The event ended on Sunday with homemade chili for the participants and a trophy presentation. This years trophy went on the mantel of the Mittlestaedt family for Ron's 36" Pike.
We hope to see more participants next year!
