Yellow Medicine Soil and Water Conservation District news
As you are preparing yourselves to head out to your favorite fishing spot, remember to take precautions to keep our waters free of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Lakes in Yellow Medicine County, and the rest of non-lakes country, are fortunate to have relatively low levels of traffic year round. Recently, the Yellow Medicine Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) found that the main boat ramps at Wood Lake near Timm County Park and at Del Clark Lake closest to the entrance averaged about 10 watercraft trailers entering and leaving the water daily. On holiday weekends, such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, that number rockets to over one hundred per day for those two access points. All other public accesses in the county see about one trailer entering and leaving the water on any given day through the season. The SWCD’s central concern in our area is folks moving species from a lake in another county or state, and bringing them to local waters.

More moisture moves in this week
Much of the region had some snow on Sunday as a low-pressure system pushed across the state. It was pretty to see but I think many of us are over this winter and want to see the warmer weather settle-in “for good,” or at least until next fall!
