To promote the recreational use of Fox Lake for fishing, the Fox Lake
Preservation Organization (FLPO) in conjunction with the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continues to commit itself to
an extensive yearly fish-stocking program.
For example, on October 2 at 10:30am, the FLPO worked with middle
school students from the School for Agricultrual and Environmental
Studies to release 6,000 perch and 4,000 crappies into Fox Lake at
Town Park on Blackhawk Trail.
The success of the annual fish-stocking program is made possible by
fundraising events, donations, and FLPO membership dues. The gener-
ous financial support and the time and effort of volunteers assure that
Fox Lake remains a top-rated fishing lake.
