The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be conducting the annual Crab Orchard Lake fish attractor project on Feb. 25.
Work will begin at 8 a.m. at the Spillway Ramp, just southeast of the dam on Spillway Road. Workers will be binding trees to concrete blocks and placing bundles in predetermined locations to enhance fish habitat in Crab Orchard Lake.
Anyone wishing to volunteer is welcome to participate. Maps of fish attractor locations with GPS coordinates will be available. If you would like additional information, contact Chris Bickers, IDNR district fisheries biologist, at 618-993-7094.
