Conservation Report: FRED LEWIS
-Fred would like to inquire if the state does any follow up studies on lakes that have crib projects on them.
-Discusses if we do want to continue crib projects on Prompton Dam, another lake, or do we start a stocking program? Members need to think about this and give feedback in the next few meetings as it does take about a year to put something in place.
-Fred does want to continue running the pickerel events for next year with the elimination of White Oaks and keep Lake Henry and Harvey’s Lake at this point.
-Fred spoke about a possible new weigh-in basket type system to help with our weigh-ins.
-Fred stressed the importance of trying to keep our fish alive as we have more of a mortality rate this year than last year thus far. He has the formula for the live wells for anybody that requests it before the tournaments and also suggests using ice.
-Dave Kozlansky read an article from a recent FLW magazine about Tennessee implementing a Bass Stamp to help fund conservation efforts for bass habitat.
