Reflections On The Lake

"I started reeling it in and it was getting harder and harder to reel so I yelled for my Dad to help. He helped me reel it in and when it came out of the water it was a large mouth bass.  We named it basszilla."

2010 Lake Host Update Print E-mail
Written by Donna Danis   
The Lake Host Program is more than half-way through the summer schedule.
 
State-wide, Lake Hosts are up to 188 “saves” including 2 here on Pawtuckaway Lake – one Eurasian milfoil and one variable milfoil. Here are some interesting stats on this very important program:
 
  • Collectively, our paid and volunteer hosts have provided more 450 hours of ramp coverage and conducted more 1,145 inspections.
  • 93% of the boats inspected are from New Hampshire
  • 47% of the boats inspected are canoe or kayaks
  • 42% of the boats inspected are outboard motor boats
  • 56% of the boats have a high awareness of the program
 
The attached documents give you information on how to spot variable milfoil and Eurasian milfoil and how to inspect boats or personal watercrafts that may be using your private boat launches.
