Five Fish Cribs Placed on Long Lake


Five Fish Cribs Placed on Long Lake
by Scott Sandor
Five fish cribs have been constructed by volunteers of the Long Lake Fishing Club and have been put on the ice this winter.  This is a multi-year project where a total of twenty five fish cribs will be constructed and deployed on the lake (Ten are planned for the next two years). 

The LLFC board approved the project this past summer.  Discussions with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) began shortly thereafter which included the WDNR representatives taking a pontoon tour.  The tour included the proposed locations of the new cribs.  Measurements were taken by board members Charlie Benson, John Hrovat, Matt Kissinger, John Koerble and Brian Ebert.A big thank you goes out to Brian Ebert.  Brian was instrumental in the construction of the cribs.  He went out on his property, cut the wood, searched and gathered the necessary materials needed to build the first five fish cribs and collected the needed Christmas trees to fill the cribs.  Thank you Brian!  Kudos also goes out to Matt Kissinger for constructing the jig to drill the perfectly aligned holes for easy construction.

The first five fish cribs have been placed on the ice in March.  Again thanks to all the LLFC directors and volunteers who made this project happen:  Don Enders, Charlie Benson, John Hrovat, Brian Ebert, Matt Kissinger, Tom Flasch, Boyd Stoffel, Jason Sarauer, Doug Staege and Roger Kahut.
