BRANSON, Mo. – Fish are enjoying new habitat after state and
federal officials strategically placed trees and brush piles at Table Rock
Lake. Brush piles provide good spawning habitat in spring for fish and shelter
for smaller fish hiding from predators.
The project focused on improving bank access for anglers
within park boundaries. Most of the trees were submerged in less than 20 feet
of water to create vital habitat for fish in shallow areas. This new fish
habitat can easily be targeted from shore, increasing fishing opportunities for
bank anglers.
MDC staff also worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
to replenish 41 existing brush piles and build six new brush piles in the Kings
River Arm and the Big Indian Creek Arm of Table Rock Lake this winter.
