Fisheries & RESEARCH

Every year our Chapter invests time and money in our fisheries and research projects. From assisting in purchasing needed hatchery equipment to research PIT tags to trap netting to gain more information on growth and populations. From the hatchery to the lake - we are there doing our part to maintain and improve our great fisheries. Click on our Fisheries/Research page for more details.

The Brainerd Lakes Chapter is proud to once again support Musky Mission Complete! Several of our members volunteered their services and guided the Veterans that participated in this years' event. A very rewarding experience for everyone involved. We support and salute our Veterans and will continue to do so in the future.
