CVC is developing a fisheries management plan for Island Lake Conservation Area (ILCA) and we are seeking input from the public! Your responses will help us assess angler use of the reservoir, preferred species and baits and provide additional information to guide in the development of the management plan.

Please answer all questions as they relate to ice fishing at ILCA only. If you are part of a group, please have one person fill out the form based on their usage of ILCA otherwise, each group member can complete individual surveys.

Complete only one survey per angler per season (e.g. open water and ice fishing). A separate survey will be developed for the open water season.

Provide your contact information if you would like to receive updates in the future. All personal information collected will be kept private.
