New Parade Route!!! Please note the new parade route and share it with your friends. This will allow the parade entrants to leave from the south, and from the North out of town, or back to the start, without running into the tail of the parade at Duck Lake Road. The county sheriff has a great plan to keep traffic flowing and to keep everyone safe. We will see you on July 25 at 1 PM for the Paddlefish Days Grand Parade! NOTE we do have room for more entries. Go to our website, paddlefishdays.com, and download a parade entry form to sign up.

ATTENTION Madison Lake Community – Have You Seen Dead Fish on Your Beach?
We've received reports of an unusual number of dead fish washing up on shores around Madison Lake. This could have a natural explanation — but it needs to be investigated, and your report to the MN DNR can make a real difference.
If you've seen dead fish, here's what to do:
- Take photos of the fish and your shoreline location
- Note the species if known, and the approximate size of the fish
- Note your location on the lake
Then report it — the DNR prefers the online form:
https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fisheries/fishkills.html
Or call the 24/7 Duty Officer: 651-649-5451 or 800-422-0798
The more detail you can provide, the faster agencies can assess and respond. Drop a comment below if you've seen anything so we can gauge the scope.
