Observations: Fish Mgmt

DNR expert witness Don Bush provided thoughtful, credible testimony on the lake's fish habitat.

On cross, RKLD attorneys were able to demonstrate that the DNR winter draw-down does indeed limit carp habitat, as Bush testified, but also the record will show that the same conditions that deprive carp of habitat deprive game fish of habitat as well.

Side Bar:
The RKLD looks forward to working with DNR and Don Bush to improve the Bark River Fish Hatchery and make a significant investment in the game fish habitat once the water level conditions have been resolved.
