On Saturday March 6, sunny skies and 21 volunteers added up to 21 new fish cribs being constructed to improve the Flowage's fishery as part of FOG's 2010 Fish Crib Project.  Funding for the 10 cords of hardwood logs needed to construct the cribs was provided by FOG membership fees and donations.

 

Special thanks to the volunteers who helped make this project a success and to our WI DNR partners Senior Fisheries Biologist Jeff Roth, Advanced Fisheries Biologist Jim Cox, and Fisheries Technician James Zarzycki for securing the needed permits, materials, and working with volunteers.

 

Special thanks to the Town of Pence which plowed out the log pile prior to the fish crib work bee day and to the volunteers who worked weeks earlier to pack trails and cut the brush needed to stuff into each crib.
