Lake Tomah Project Aims at Improved Fishery, Lake Habitat

Weekly News Article by the Central Office Wisconsin DNR

TOMAH - In the past week and a half, thousands of dead carp have floated to the surface of Lake Tomah, the result of a chemical treatment by the state Department of Natural Resources.

From a biologist’s perspective, it is a gratifying sight and for local residents it is cause for celebration. It means this reservoir has been released from the death grip of the invasive carp. Lake Tomah has been given that rarest of gifts – a fresh start.

In two to three years this weedless mud hole will once again be a clear-water lake with rich green plants waving in soft, near-shore currents. Within five years, healthy populations of northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappies and bluegills will thrill a new generation of fishermen.

“It’s wonderful and it’s exciting,” said Ruth Nystrom, an enthusiastic lakeshore resident who helped cook lunch for work crews on treatment day. “It’s going to be clear and the fishing is going to be good. It’s going to be a real asset for Tomah.”
