This year we are especially grateful for our VOLUNTEERS.  Our association members depend on and APPRECIATE all of you.  Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you to the 150+ families who renewed your membership for 2019 -- and to the 120 who renewed at a FISH Tier (we have 3 Record Muskies so far!)

If you have not already done so, 

Send your renewal to SCLA P.O. Box 1082, Hayward, WI 54843 (or Renew Online here).  

New this year: RENEW AT A FISH TIER to help cover current expenses.  Annual dues of $25 cover only a tiny fraction of our annual costs to protect and preserve our lakes.  The cost of our mission activities is closer to $250 per family.  Please renew at one of the FISH TIERS below to help us cover our costs:

BLUEGILL:  $100

BASS:  $250

WALLEYE:  $500

RECORD MUSKY:  $1,000

Renewals received after December 31st do not qualify for 2019 membership. Active, current, paid members receive SpiderLines, email alerts/updates and a Member Directory.  Please support your lake association by renewing at a Fish Tier!
