Project Overview
Shields Lake is a small (30 acres), eutrophic basin in northern Washington County that drains via a channel into Forest Lake. Currently, an electric fish barrier is being operated along the channel to prevent the movement of rough fish between Forest Lake and Shields Lake. The electric fish barrier is unreliable due to its old age and failing hardware. The CLFLWD is interested in removing the electric barrier and replacing it with a passive barrier that can provide rough fish management at a lower long-term cost.
