MENASHA, Wis–The Menasha Lock on the Fox River will remain closed for another boating season. It has been eight years since the lock was open to pleasure boats after a discovery of the invasive round goby in the upper Fox River.
The D-N-R is using the lock as a barrier to keep the fish from reaching Lake Winnebago, where it would pose a threat to native gamefish. The Fox River Navigational System Authority is working on designs for an electric barrier system, but that will not be done this year.
