Leech Lake needs some help and its Tax Deductible; those of you in Canada can know you've just done the right thing, The Leech Lake Area Watershed Foundation is seeking donations to protect Muskie spawning area on 5 Mile Point. The LLAWF is a big supporter of Muskies and understands the value of the fish to Leech lake and all of North America.
Please give the fish and what I feel is the most incredible lake in Minnesota a helping hand.

Min $10.00 1/2 the cost of a cheap bait.
Thank You

Donations made. I think anyone who travels to the state of Minnesota to fish the stocked waters owes a donation to protect habitat of the fish that created that stocking program.

i donated some money for this. if we loose that point i think it could really do some damage to the muskie fishing not only on leech lake but all the lakes that get the leech strain for stocking programs.. does anyone know where i can find more information on how this battle is going?

Bump.
$740.00 in donations isn't going to get the job done.
Come on Muskie community.

Only 11 donors since Jan. 1st.
Please help save this spawning area.
Almost every lake in Mn. gets Muskies from Leech.
