Summary


Lake Rachel is a 100 acre lake on private property in Madison County, made available for public fishing via Lease Agreement. Due to small size, low fishery productivity and limited strategies available to provide or improve quality of fishing experiences, the Fish Management Area is being disestablished. Aquatic vegetation control efforts which were successful and did allow navigation did not increase angler utilization or quality of fishing. Baymeadows is a 15 acres lake in Duval County that will be incorporated into the FWC North Central Region system of Fish Management Areas. The set of rules will provide the best quality fishing experience in the newly established Fish Management Area and is consistent with similar Fish Management Areas in Duval County and in agreement with Landowner’s request (City of Jacksonville).
