HOWARD LAKE, MN – Hundreds of pelicans and cormorants were on Howard Lake Tuesday afternoon.
The Cormorant Impact Committee from the Lake Washington Improvement Association is planning to meet with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources soon to try to come to an agreement regarding the increase in pelican and cormorant populations at Pigeon Lake near Dassel.
Many area sportsmen and lake associations are concerned that the increase in cormorants and pelicans foraging on lakes is harming the fish population.
