Example of Fishing Permit

June 21, 2009

EACH FAMILY NEEDS ONE(1) FISHING PERMIT THAT COVERS THEIR GUESTS.  WHEN FISHING, JUST HAVE THE PERMIT WITH YOU.   THE BEST PLACE FOR ACCESS TO THE LAKE IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM CLUBHOUSE AT THE PUMP-HOUSE.   ALL BASS LESS THAN 20" SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE LAKE IN ORDER TO ALLOW BREAM TO MATURE SINCE THEY ARE THE PRIMARY BASS FOOD.  THIS WILL ALLOW THE BASS TO GROW LARGER.  A FEW DAYS AGO, THE ALABAMA WILDLIFE PEOPLE DID A ONE YEAR FOLLOW-UP SAMPLING OF THE LAKE , AND REPORT A SIGNAFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN OUR FISH POPULATION, AND THE LAKE IN GENERAL. WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS WORKING.

UPDATE TO ALL RESIDENTS.   AFTER A VISIT FROM THE STATE WILDLIFE DEPT. WE ARE ADVISED THE LAKE IS IN GOOD HEALTH, BUT THE BASS POPULATION IS OUT OF BALANCE.   WE HAVE TO MANY BASS IN THE LAKE FOR THEM TO GROW TO ANY SIZE.     THE BREAM POPULATION, WHICH IS THE PRIMARY BASS DIET, IS GOOD IN NUMBER, BUT LACK SIZE ,WHICH IS NEEDED FOR LARGER BASS.    WE NEED TO TAKE OUT ALL BASS UNDER 20" FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE (IE OUR LAKE IS NO LONGER CATCH AND RELEASE ).    ANY RESIDENT NEEDING A FISHING PERMIT, CALL ME @ 979-4373

REGARDS GARY CLAY

 May 1, 2008:

We added 300 Grass eating Carp to the Lake on Tuesday April 29th.  They were in the 10 to 11 inch size and cost $1,500.  This may sound high but is really inexpensive when the alternatives are considered.

The “Lake Committee”, primarily consists of myself, and the residents on the lake. I, of course, would like all GlenLakes residents to be involved with the Lake as it is a source of beauty wild life, and home value for all of us.  At this point, the Lake is very good.  We plan a fresh delivery of grass eating carp in April. Also, in June, I have a fish sampling by the Alabama State Wildlife and Fisheries Dept.  They plan to check the number of bass and brim in the Lake.  They will give recommendations as to adding same. Until then, they recommend removing any bass we catch, especially the small ones.  This will give others a chance to grow larger.  I would appreciate anyone catching bass to keep a record of the number and total weight caught and report the number to me at my e-mail address:     Please include any comments or concerns regarding any aspects of the Lake.
