Details
Mermet Lake has three boat ramps, a ten horsepower outboard motor
limit (although larger motors are now allowed if operated at no
wake speed) and a closed fishing period from two weeks before the
waterfowl season until the seasons end to reduce disturbance of
resting ducks and geese. Mermet Lake has a 10 horsepower outboard
motor limit, but larger motors have been allowed to operate at no
wake speed. Mermet is closed to fishing from two weeks before waterfowl
season to the seasons end to reduce disturbance of resting ducks
and geese. The recent appearance of curlyleaf pondweed in Mermet
has caused boat navigation problems in approximately two thirds
of the lake from late spring to mid summer. A five-year integrated
management plan to reduce the impact of this plant on angler access
was initiated during 2001.
