Spellman Lakes drawdown underway

Spellman Lakes drawdown underway

Staff from the Marshall DNR Wildlife Office have begun a drawdown of Spellman Lakes in Yellow Medicine County in order to promote a winterkill of undesirable fish such as carp, bullheads, and fathead minnows. Another benefit of this drawdown will be the re-establishment of aquatic vegetation that requires dry conditions for seed germination.

Ducks Unlimited, under a Heritage Enhancement grant from DNR, completed a project last summer to replace the existing water control structure and excavate a channel between North and South Spellman Lakes. DU also installed a fish barrier at the outlet of North Spellman Lake to prevent the return of undesirable fish once the drawdown is complete.
