Fish Cribs
Fish Cribs are important in maintaining diverse, healthy lake ecosystems and in sustaining fish population by providing places for fish to hide from predators, shade from the hot summer sun, nesting and spawning habitats, and places for food organisms to live and grow. Prior to installing a fish crib into the lake, a resident must complete an application to the Village of Third Lake (Ordinance 20-01-02).
