Lake Ilo is on a National Wildlife Refuge.  The lake was drained because the
carp, etc were eating the vegetation that the ducks and geese need to feed
on.  It was restocked with adult size perch and is suppose to be restocked
with northern again.  Fishing had nothing to do with the lake being drained.
It's a National waterfowl resting area, and the Feds were concerned about
the ducks and geese.  In a couple of years, it will be a good northern lake again.

Lake Ilo is on a National Wildlife Refuge.  The lake was
drained to kill the the carp, etc that had been eating the
vegetation that ducks and geese need to feed on.  It
had nothing to do with fishing, only improving the feeding
of the waterfowl, because it is a National Refuge.  It was
restocked with adult size perch, and possibly northerns
next year.  It will not be stocked with walleye because the
Feds don't believe the lake can handle walleye, which has
been hotly contested for many years.  In a couple of years,
it will be back to basically a northern lake.  It has put out
some pretty good size fish over the years.

The lake didn't "freeze out" last year. It was drained, and poisoned to kill off the undesirable species. Picked the right year to do it. It filled back up in the spring of 09, and I believe was restocked with northern pike, walleye, etc. I am guessing anything in there is going to be real small.
