In 2024, 51 adults and 26 kids participated in the fishing contest and caught Walleye, Bass, Crappie, Sunny, and Northern. Wow! Jim Luttrell has mentioned at the annual meetings that the DNR stocks our lakes every three years with walleye fingerlings. He said that our lakes are classified as "not suited for walleye reproduction" making it crucial to notify the DNR that we are catching them.
A couple of years ago we started officially collecting walleye data. We ask that when you catch a walleye, CLICK HERE to help us collect/forward the info to the DNR. We will also try to keep an updated "walleye count" for our own benefit.
The 2024 IMLPOA Boat Parade was a HUGE success. It was the highest-ever participation with 18 pontoon boats and fishing boats. The weather was glorious and enthusiastic boaters tooted horns, clapped, and yelled to those watching from shore. Thanks to all who came out and helped us celebrate!

Over 80 adults and children attended the 45th anniversary IMLPOA picnic. As always, the food this year was delicious. Probably because of all the grandmothers...truth. Various board members addressed topics relevant to our lakes, with Leo Offerman discussing the decision-making process of Ross Lake Township and its impact on our taxes, and Tom Stremski highlighting the significance of our pontoon trailer in preserving the lake from invasive species. Mark Caspars also provided insight into the maintenance of the pontoon trailer. He spoke about the wheel bearings and not leaving the trailer in the water for long periods of time. He emphasized the importance of sharing this resource and not monopolizing its use.
We said goodbye to long-time board secretary Linda Berglund. Linda has been a wonderful asset to our association and we will miss her advice and comments. Thank you, Linda, for your wonderful service to our organization! We also said goodbye to Leo Offerman. Leo has been involved in IMLPOA since its inception and has served in many capacities over the last 45 years. Thank you, Leo, for your service and commitment to IMLPOA!
Our 13 month IMLPOA Calendars were distributed to members prior to the picnic with a few still available at the Picnic. Contact Chuck Pettipiece if you are interested.
IMLPOA collected non-perishable food items and cash in support of the Emily Food Shelf. The Association matches all cash donations to the Food Shelf collected at the picnic .
Island Mud Lake Property Owners Association Pontoon Ice Cream Social
It was ice cream day on the lake and we did not let the cooler, windy weather dampen our celebration of summer during the IMLPOA-sponsored ice cream social on Saturday, August 10th. They came by boat, pontoon, kayak, and on foot to The Ice Cream Pontoon, anchored from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm near the sandbar on Island Lake!
