Billy Egan of WON contacted AquaTechnex (aquatechnex.com/laguna-niguel-lake) which monitors and manages water quality at Laguna Niguel Lake, and they were unaware of any type of tagging activity going on at the lake.
“We care greatly for the well-being of the fish and the health of Laguna Niguel Lake, and are working with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to investigate, said Supervising Park Ranger, Adam Martinez. “O.C. Parks does not stock bass and does not band fish, and as you already heard from AquaTechnex, they also do not mark fish in any way.”
Visitors observing any suspicious activity should call Laguna Niguel Lake staffers at (949) 923-2241 and (888) 334- CALTIP.
