Fish Committee

The Fish Committee is a volunteer-led group dedicated to enhancing the fish population in Buffalo Lake through private fundraising and community support. Funds raised are used to purchase fish for stocking the lake, with support often coming from local businesses through advertising opportunities.

While the Lake District itself does not solicit funds or manage this effort, anyone interested in supporting the committee’s work or learning more about advertising opportunities can reach out to the committee co-chairs listed below. Advertiser updates are typically shared annually around May 15.
