Wednesday, March 9, A DEEP Conservation officer was stationed at the Highland Lake boat launch. With the very warm weather, and word being out that the lake is fishing well, people were visiting the lake in droves. It was nice to see people being turned away from the ramp for multiple issues, lifejackets, boating license, etc. 2016 Fishing license checks were also being done to the many shore anglers. Just wanted to give a thanks for performing some proactive duties.

Understaffed for sure but they do a damn good job with who they have. Hats off to them

I have heard second hand that there has been some enforcement on a few of the private basins on the big river that have need attention for quite a while. Thanks from the river as well!!!

That is a great project!!!Nearly every morning there is rampant misuse of parking, Once summer starts it gets worse. Weekends can find you parking at the end of the lot due to all the illegal parking.
