Volunteers Improve Fish Habitat

If you like to fish, you might try Turtle Lake at Stone State Park.  Several people volunteered their time to make fishing better this year.

For his Eagle Scout project, boy scout Greg Anderson made several improvements this past summer.

In this photo Anderson (on the left) gets ready to sink fish habitat in the lake.  Anderson and other scouts constructed the habitat on shore.  The structure was loaded onto the flat-bottom boat and sunk off shore.  Fish are attracted to the artificial structure.

Anderson also installed a new informational kiosk near the parking area which describes the fish that you might catch in Turtle Lake.  A bench was also installed near the lake by scouts.

 

Although there is ice on the lake now, get out and drill a couple of holes and fish over the new structure - you are almost guaranteed a bite!
