Ohio's Lake Lavere Now Closed to Fishing

 
 
Division of Wildlife Update! Lake Lavere at the Lake La Su An Wildlife closed to fishing as of Monday, July 27.

Lake Lavere is managed for a population of large bluegills (over 8 inches). To accomplish this, fisheries managers ensure that only a specific percentage of the population is harvested each year. In order to ensure that over-harvest does not occur, the lake will be closed to fishing for the remainder of the fishing season.

The lakes at Lake La Su Ann Wildlife area are open May 1 through Sept. 28, 4 days a week: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday only. The lakes are open from sunrise to sunset during designated fishing days. Sunfish bag limits for 2015 will be 15 fish daily, with no more than 5 fish being 8 inches or larger. Largemouth bass will have an 18 inch minimum length limit, with a 5 fish daily bag limit and channel catfish will have a 2 fish daily bag limit. All bag limits are in effect area wide. Anglers are also reminded that no fish may be used as bait on the area.

These regulations are designed to continue the long tradition of quality bluegill fishing on the La Su An area lakes. Quality bluegill fisheries are maintained by limiting the harvest of adult bluegill each year.
