Summary

The Beaver Island Wildlife Club reported stocking Lake Geneserath and Fox Lake with 1,000 large bluegill each in May 1998, placing more than 400 pollywogs in Green’s Lake, and observing abundant turkey chicks and a thriving deer herd. It also identified cormorants as a serious threat to the fish-stocking effort.

Evidence limits

These are club observations and reports, not an agency stocking record, population survey, or cormorant-management decision.
