Jeff Sundin, professional guide in the Grand Rapids area reported the following:
"For those of you who have been following the stories about the status of the overpopulation of Cormorants in the area, I’d like to alert you to a fairly new development. A thousand or so (maybe more) Cormorants appear to be taking up permanent residence in Cutfoot Sioux Lake. We’ve been seeing some flocks of birds in the Winnibigosh and Cutfoot areas for years, but these are birds not simply passing through the area, but living here and feeding daily on fish from one of the most popular and highly prized fisheries in the state. It would be a shame to see the balance between these hungry birds and the fish go out of whack as it did on Leech Lake causing or contributing to the crash of the Walleye fishery on that great lake.

I’d sure appreciate you taking the time to look into this issue a bit more and contact the DNR Fisheries Manager Chris Kavanaugh in Grand Rapids to discuss the potential threat to the area fisheries and related tourism businesses. The phone the regional office, call 218-327-4430 or go ahead and use this handy link to contact him by email chris.kavanaugh@dnr.state.mn.us. It takes time for the DNR to respond to concerns, but in my experience, they will do so if we stay in touch with them. I’d encourage you to have a chat, just to get brought up to speed on sport fishing related issues. You will always learn something."
