    Default Greers Ferry Lake Nursery Pond Finglerling Protection


    This past week we cut 35 large cedar trees off of Greers Ferry WMA and sank them into nursery pond outflow cove to give our fry a fighting chance from the predators of Greers Ferry. This was so much woody cover that it took up one pallet of concrete and two pallets of cinder blocks to sink the trees! The brush piles were put in 10 to 15 FOW in the back of the cove. The trees should settle out as they get water logged. We made a stump pile from all of the trees (35 stumps) and sank them in about 20 FOW. We also sank two 20 foot tall trees and some artificial trees at the same depth and vicinity. This new structure will hopefully give the fry a place to hide and anglers some more brush to fish in the spring. We will collect (single pole sampling of course) more hybrids next spring when we release the next crop and compare their gut contents to this years fish. Hopefully we will find fewer fingerlings in their stomachs next year.

    After sinking 20 pvc trees similar to those, we can't even begin to see them with our down scan imaging. All we can see is barely the lumps of concrete on the bottom. Nice job. Bet it works great.

    Love the dump boat. I need one of those to fish out of. Carry your friends and if they get rowdy or catching too many fish, just hit the dump button.

    Ya'll did real good.

    Looks good. You think you could dump several loads in the mouth of Middle Fork. Might detour some of the water lice.

    Rcc, I was thinking the same thing!

    Matt that is a lot of work. Handling the concrete and cinder blocks is a chore in its own! Thanks for what you do!!

    That's a lot of brush and a lot of work. She's brushed up good. If that doesn't work, we need to forget about brush piles.
    Tell'em I'll be there.
