2011 Fish Transfer Completed

For 2011, we were once again granted a permit from the Nebraska Game and Parks commission to make a fish transfer at Copper Dollar Cove.  As in the past, 300 crappie and 300 bluegill were taken from Copper Penny Lake and transferred into Copper Dollar Lake.  If the fish are not taken out by anglers, we hope to help increase the populations of these fish to what they used to be in years past.  If you would like to see more and bigger panfish in Copper Dollar Lake, please do not harvest these fish.  Let them grow and have the chance to spawn next spring.  There are still plenty of crappie and bluegill in Copper Penny Lake for residents to catch and enjoy for eating.  Thanks.
