Fisheneer, I think we need to do another creel study on that reclamation location again. LOL
On Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Louisiana-Texas Border, they have fish "cribs", often 30'+ foot tall stacked pallets just stacked and tied together and sunk to strategic locations in the lake. Now, for those that have never been there, they have standing oak and long needle pine trees in that lake everywhere, so much they have cut boat lanes for travel, and yet Texas and Louisiana still saw the need for additional prey protection. On that Reservoir, you had better have a spare prop and skills changing it over deep water. uggggg Vertical cover like a million oak trees that were not cut down before the Reservoir flooded were not as effective as horizontal cover. PS, Toledo Bend is considered one of the top Bass lakes in the world. Crappie over 14" are common..........
I totally agree that we don't want to step on Chris or the DWR's toes at all. I don't think that we could ever replace the biology or management skills they have already got in place.
But, wouldn't it be nice to team up, provide labor and hard goods. Perhaps this could be a great University study????????

I have worked on river restoration projects where volunteer labor has harvested and planted thousands of coyote and yellow willows that are now establishing extremely well. Ironically, was known for a lot of skinny browns averaging 8-10 inches long. Now, the last creel studies I was part of (Anglinarcher, you were there as I recall), okay it was our creel last February, the averaging 14-16 inches and some up to 18 inches. Chris and crew gave a lot of input on that and it worked. That is on the Logan River. They have also been able to do a lot on the Provo and others.
The problem on lakes and reservoirs is the habitat isn’t really restoration or critical for a specific threatened species. But with the increase in fishing pressure, it seems that increased cover would more then benefit perch. It will benefit the entire food chain.
