Starting in late 2019 as the new chair of the Lake Lucerne Fishery and Water Quality Committee with a background in health care, Jim Zach embarked on a nearly 2 year endeavor to educate, plan, recruit resources, and coordinate a lake community effort that resulted in placing 43 fish sticks along the shore of the lake during February of 2021.

He will also outline the Department of Natural Resources policies on fish stocking and discuss the reasons for those rules. Finally, there will be examples of how both stocking success and natural recruitment of young fish are evaluated.
