The largest majority of work is cold water though, by TU and the IDFG. Occasionaly our irrigation resevoirs dry, and are restocked with mature sunfish/bass electro shocked from the bigger waters.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280254602600282932.post-48468569564398649752012-10-10T06:27:16.372-07:002012-10-10T06:27:16.372-07:00That's exactly what we are doing! :)
The fish...That's exactly what we are doing! :)<br />The fish habitat serves a dual purpose. It adds structure in otherwise featureless lakes...which then serves as a substrate for invertebrates. More food in a lake results in a larger, healthier fish population. The invertebrates attracts minnows and sunfish. The structure then serves as both cover and as a feeding station for fish. This concentrates fish and makes then easier for anglers to find. Win-Win!FishnDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224770232081356438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280254602600282932.post-45917659765626195832012-10-09T16:27:58.551-07:002012-10-09T16:27:58.551-07:00Looks like a great organization doing great things...Looks like a great organization doing great things to help the iowa fisheries.

I found it yesterday while trying to ID a pair of fish we caught at the DMACC pond (crappies, it turns out), and I've been reading your archives ever since. I've made it back to Feb 2012 so far.Ulrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770731453337175928noreply@blogger.com
