members. Bring your favorite beverage, lantern, bug spray, etc.

ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS
It has come to our attention that some of you seemingly don’t care about rules. You have all been
issued a copy of our property and keycard rules. READ THEM AND HEED THEM.  If you can’t read
have someone read them to you. We will not tolerate stringers of fish with the attitude that “they won’t
miss a few of them”. Rest assured if this continues you will be dealt with. We have many members
who enjoy what we have and don’t have a problem with catch and release. They will also report
violations. All it takes is a mouse click and your keycard won’t work anymore, your access to our
property will be denied and your membership terminated, as well. Let me be clear. If you can’t,
or won’t, follow the rules
WE DON’T WANT YOU!

Also, you’ll notice there are no trash cans on the property. That doesn’t mean the grounds are
your personal dump. TAKE OUT WHAT YOU BRING IN! We don’t have a trash collection service so
keep our grounds free from litter, cigarette butts, etc. We are proud of what we have and want to keep
it that way.
Finally, the subject of immediate family has been brought up. “Immediate family” for our purposes
is defined as your spouse and minor children. Your grandchildren are also welcome on your membership.
That does not include friends, neighbors, coworkers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law
or adult children. They all must have their own membership in order to use, and enjoy, our grounds

    We have been having a problem with people sneaking onto the club property and
    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
