Invasive Species Control
Catch & Release
We have been encouraging our guests to practice catch & release for over a decade, and the fishing has improved significantly. Thanks to all for their participation! Please don’t keep more fish than you can eat in one day. The fishing is better for everyone if you limit what you keep, rather than keeping your limit.
Reed Ranch Minimum Sizes Requested:
18" for Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass
34" for Northern Pike
Invasive Species Control
Invasive Species Control
Invasive Species Control
All boats, motors, trailers and related equipment brought by guests should be thoroughly washed and then allowed to dry for at least 5 days (two weeks is best).
This is to help prevent the invasion of harmful species of aquatic plants & animals into our lakes that will eventually hinder your enjoyment.
