Wow thats what they should have done to yuba when it was drained. That would take care of the boom and bust cycles.[]

This Idea has already been put before the utah Dwr and rejected!

Those things would be great in willard and many other utah warm water fisheries.

Other ideas will be going through the DWR soon. Fishing clubs such as ours are working with the DWR on several habitats on several lakes, not just Yuba.

Well that Idea was done a while ago through the U T bass federation with multiple studies from other states that had used it succesfully. So hopefully things have changed. Its usually not the DWR's fault anyway the water controllers are usually the ones who wont allow them to put anything in the reservoir.

Good luck

Actually, something very much like this was done in Williard back in the early 80s. A bass club collected old Christmas trees after the holidays and cemented them into old tires which were then dropped into the lake by helicopters provided by the AF. I was a crew chief on those helicoptors at the time and my boss kept a closely guarded map of the locations of each of the clusters of trees. I'm certain they are gone by now.

If you know where to look the tires and concrete are still there []
