Fishing clubs are gearing up for a collaborative effort to enhance local waterways, as discussed in the recent Oshkosh Advisory Park Board meeting. The board explored potential partnerships with various fishing organizations, including the Lake Poygan Sportsman's Club and the Butte More Conservation Club, to support upcoming projects.

A key focus of the meeting was the installation of fishing structures at Ames Point, with plans to potentially begin this winter, contingent on favorable ice conditions and permitting processes. The board member highlighted the importance of good ice for accessing the site with equipment, noting that they aim to install around five to six structures.

Concerns were raised about the environmental impact of tree removal on nearby Monkey Island, where some trees may need to be cleared to facilitate the project. The board emphasized a careful approach to minimize visibility and disruption, ensuring that any decisions regarding tree removal would be made collaboratively.

The discussion underscored the board's commitment to public outreach and the overall success of the project, with members expressing strong support for the initiative. While no formal vote was required, the consensus indicated a positive direction for enhancing fishing opportunities in the area.
