   Cass County Sheriff Bryan Welk reports that the Cass County Sheriff’s Office will begin the process of removing navigational buoys and markers from area lakes starting on October 13th, 2025, and will continue in the coming weeks. Additionally, some area lake associations in Cass County have already started the process. Boaters, fisherman and hunters should use caution and familiarize themselves with area lakes that they intend on travelling. In the fall prior to storage, buoys are inspected, cleaned, repaired and stored for the winter months.
