An avid fisherman (in competitions, too), he approached me about trying to improve the fishing in our dam. He proposed "raking" the dam to remove some of the weeds to give clear water and less tangles for the fishing lines.
-
I do not fish so Brian educated me on the ups and downs of this process and a plan was developed. Since fishing was part of the Women In The Outdoors activities, Brian would rake the section of the dam that they would be using. Then, data would be gathered on the success of the venture.
-
The raking occurred at the end of July and the WITO took place on the 6AUG. I have not had the chance to compare notes with Michelle Holt yet to find out if the raking made a difference. You will just have to check back to get the final results.
-
In the meantime, here are some images of the raking process-----

And thanks to Scotty Wagner for the images... and for hauling the weeds away. He is composting the stuff, but that's another experiment for another post.
-
Let's see how this first attempt turns out. Brian reported that there is a LOT of weeds in the that dam. If this helps improve the fishing, we may need to gather a crew to make a big difference.

Stay tuned for further updates and feel free to leave comments about this project.
