Soo Lake United Associati​on

Hello Lake members,

It looks like the season is changing to a little cooler weather, indicating that fall is here. Another thing that happens every fall is dock removals and a drawdown of the lake to winter levels.

A reminder for those who use Mark’s service for dock and lift removal, the dates are October 11th and 12th.

I received an announcement from Price County informing us, the winter draw down will start on October 22nd and be completed by October 29th, weather permitting. The water level will be reduced by about 10 inches and will be filled back to normal in spring.

Soo Lake Fish Survey

The DNR has completed a fyke net survey on Soo Lake for 3 consecutive days. (October 17th, 18th, and 19th). This survey was done to check the amount and size of the crappies. Jeff Scheirer (the fish biologist from Park Falls) and Kendal Petrie (DNR assistant) conducted the survey. The Gopro video was taken by John Brylski. Also in the film is Jon Pederson, both from our Soo Lake United Association. The film was taken on October 19th, which was the last day of the survey. In the previous 2 days they caught 144 crappies, many between 10.5 & 13.5 inches. As you can see, the survey indicates that we have a nice variety and size of fish in Soo Lake. A “Big Thank You” to Jeff Schierer and Kendal Petrie for conducting the fyke net survey. Also thank you to John Brylski and Jon Pederson for getting these great pictures.
