ROCK RAPIDS — Fishing regulations have been relaxed at Lake Pahoja to allow licensed anglers to harvest fish through the winter until a planned lake renovation in March.  

Anglers with a valid fishing license may take fish by any means except dynamite, poison, electroshocking devices, or any stupefying substances. In addition, daily bag and minimum length restrictions are lifted. Taking fish for commercial purposes is not allowed.  

Lake Pahoja, in Lyon County, experienced a significant die off of sport fish in September, leaving primarily common carp and grass carp in the 70-acre lake.
