At October’s meeting we will be hosting a discussion group on the Little Calumet River
Watershed. Panel members will include:

  William Moran          Soil and Water Conservation
  Louis Mikolics                                              Farmer
  Robert Helmick                                            NRC&D

  Dan Gossman                   Drainage Administrator
  Dan Gardner                                 MS4 Coordinator
  (both from the Lake County Surveyor’s Office)

 Each panel member will be afforded approximately 10 minutes to present their views
on the Little Calumet River and methods of flood prevention; what has been done and what
needs to be done moving forward. John Beckman put together this panel and will facilitate
the discussion.  The public is invited so join us for what should be a very timely, and of
great local interest, discussion. For more information call John Beckman at (219) 318-6606.
And, for the first time, video replay highlights of our guests’ presentations will be available
on our website www.lakecountyfishandgame.org. Come out and enjoy the show.

stealing fish.  DNR will now be giving tickets to anyone on the property who is not a member
and anyone taking fish from the property.  "Without consent" is the charge,
    it is a $153.00 ticket.  LCF&G is now on file with the local CO's, they know how to
    identify a member so be prepared to ID yourself as a member.  If you see someone
    who is keeping fish or see anyone who is not a member please call the DNR tip line.  
    800-TIP-IDNR ( 800-847-4367 )  You don't have to give your name but let them know.  
    They may not be able to come right out but sooner or later they will get them.  
    We paid for those fish and the theft has to stop.

    Emergency numbers are posted in the window near the front gate.

    Thanks for your help
