Walleye Wayside – work has begun at this location already.  Tim Tomczak has mowed cattails.  Our hope is to lay matting over them, bring in some fill & cover the whole area with black crushed rock, making it as maintenance free as possible.  The Lake Association has plans for repainting the fish statue.  Voyageurs National Park is working on replacing the interpretive signs in the kiosk.  We could use some help when it comes time to spread the gravel.  If you are able to help, please call Betsey Warrington at 218-240-5429.  Betsey will bring material prices to the May meeting.  They are also getting bids from Greg House for the gravel.
