Wee-Ma-Tuk News
Fish News: A New Approach
By Morgan Maddox
Wee-Ma-Tuk Landowner’s Association, with the help of landowner
Ryan Maddox, has teamed up with Nate Herman of Herman Brothers
Lake and Land Management this spring to survey, stock, and manage
the lakes of Wee-Ma-Tuk. Nate is extremely excited to partner with us
on the venture to make our lakes as healthy and prosperous as ever.
Herman Brothers is a very well-known outfitter who has been
developing properties for generations. They specialize in every
phase of lake management, but most importantly in the longevity of
the lakes.
Nate and Ryan began their venture in late April/early May by surveying
4 lakes of Wee-Ma-Tuk. The lakes were chosen based on population,
which are Traer, Marie, Wood, and the Big Lake. Once surveyed, Nate
laid a plan for each lake detailing what fish need to stay, what fish
need to go, and what fish we will need to add to better emphasize the
environment of each lake. Four lakes were selected this year due to
budget estimates, but based on Nate’s determinations and our budget
there could be more lakes surveyed/stocked in the 2017 year. We
plan to continue our relationship with the Herman Brothers for many
years to come in order to come to know all lakes of Wee-Ma-Tuk and
to maintain their conditions. And please remember, the dues we as
Landowners pay help to maintain and improve our properties by
giving us the opportunity to form relationships such as this!
Nate is more than happy to answer any questions you may have
regarding your lake’s health, fish stock, or any other general lake
management questions. He urges landowners to make smart
decisions regarding their waters and to know that the smallest detour
from a plan could set the environment in the wrong direction. If you
would like to contact Nate directly, please feel free to do so by
emailing him at www.hblakemanagement.com . You can also review
the Herman Brothers and their services by visiting their website at,

Ma-Tuk Facebook page and www.weematuk.net for updated
information from each lake survey and for the recommendations that
Nate Herman sets forth. His direction will make the lakes of Wee-Ma-
Tuk thrive, and we couldn’t be happier to have him!
