LAKE CARROLL NEWS

LAKE CARROLL – When some kids went on an egg hunt last week at Lake Carroll, they hit the jackpot. They found thousands of them. Don’t worry, the Easter Bunny didn’t run his furry little feet off hiding them. They were in plain sight, and not one of them was dyed pink or purple. That’s because there was nothing to dye for; the kids were learning about life instead – as in the facts of – and they were doing it at Lake Carroll’s fish hatchery. Nearly 50 Eastland Jr. High students visited the hatchery during an open house April 11 to learn more about how the operation works and see the miracle of life in action. The hatchery, one of the few in the state that’s privately owned, keeps the lake stocked with fish. Lake Carroll’s Fishing Club maintains the hatchery and the gear that keeps it running, and for six weeks out of the year the hatchery is teeming with life as members keep their eyes on millions of eggs vying to see the light of day. Once ice thaws on the lake, by early April, club members start gathering up as many walleye as they can to harvest their eggs, as many as 25,000 from one fish. How do you harvest fish eggs? With a squeeze, kind of like a tube of toothpaste. Once they’ve got the eggs, they’re placed in a steel bowl and fertilized (courtesy of the male walleyes’ contribution to the cause). The next step on their journey back into the water is into a bin for a few hours, then into a large tube. About two weeks later, they begin to hatch and the small fry – no, that’s not a nickname; newly hatched fish are called fry – wiggle into the world. The fry are placed into another tub for about four days before being placed in a nearby holding pond where they’ll become strong enough to survive in the lake.

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@shawmedia.com

ABOVE LEFT: The hatchery’s holding pond is drained through this valve. A catch basin holds the fish while volunteers net and transport the walleye to buckets. When draining begins, right around Halloween, the workers attend the basin 24-7. ABOVE RIGHT: Students weren’t the only ones learning. Eastland School District 308 superintendent Alex Kashner joined the students on the tour. After a few months, the pond is drained through a valve where the fish are netted and transported to the lake. The survival rate for the eggs is less than 1 percent, so of the nearly 25,000 eggs laid by one fish, less than 250 usually make it through the hatching process. “You got to consider all of the other fish and the predators. If we can get half of 1 percent of what we put in, it’s a good hatch,” club member Mike Siciliano said in an interview with Lake Lifestyle last year. With odds like that, maybe the small fry could increase their odds with a lucky rabbit’s foot – just don’t ask the Easter Bunny for his.

A crappie swims around a tank on display for the students at the Lake Carroll fish hatchery.

Farm Bureau accepting applications for IVET loan program The Illinois Farm Bureau is accepting applications for its Illinois Veterinary Education and Training loan program. Loans are available to second-year veterinary students attending any accredited college of veterinary medicine in the U.S. and who are focusing on Illinois food animal medicine. The Illinois Veterinary Education Training program helps offset the high cost of veterinary education. The program loans up to $40,000 to as many as three veterinary students each year. Loans are made over a period of two to three years. IVET awards recipients a $1,500 stipend during their fourth year in school to help pay expenses associated with clinical rotations. Loans are repaid over five years, during which graduates must commit to working in a food animal practice that services Illinois livestock producers. “Illinois Farm Bureau encourages veterinary students to pursue a career in caring for food animals,” said Tasha Bunting, IFB associate director of commodity and livestock programs. “To succeed, farmers need the services of a food-animal veterinarian to help

It’s an incredibly rewarding career field that has seen an increase in demand in recent years.” Applications are due May 15 and are online at www.ilfb.org/IVET. The selection committee will interview eligible applicants in the spring. Successful applicants will be notified by mail. Loan disbursements begin in August. IFB established IVET in 2005. Since then, the organization has awarded more than $550,000 to 27 veterinary students who focus on caring for food animals in Illinois. Here is another scholarship opportunity. Prairie State Tractor, a John Deere dealership in north central Illinois, is excited to offer a scholarship program aimed at developing and supporting future service technicians.
