    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.

    to be clear it was restocked this spring with perch. they plan to let them go for around 2 years to get them esrlabished before stocking predator fish and then when they do so roumor has it there will be northlern and walleye. no walleyes before just snot rockets

    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.
