The Northwest (District 1) and North-central (District 2) districts were recently awarded a $275,000 fish habitat grant from National Fish Habitat Partnership and Bass Pro Shops. The National Fish Habitat Partnership received 30 highly competitive proposals from across the U.S. The Partnership funded nine projects totaling nearly $1.6 million established through proceeds from the Bass Pro Shops U.S. Open Amateur Bass Fishing Championships held in 2021. Our grant, which received the most funding, will focus on establishing and replenishing Beaver, Bull Shoals, and Norfork Lakes’ natural fish habitats (brush piles) over the next 17 months. In addition, we will use the funds to purchase large, specialized equipment to improve our efficiency when creating brush piles, which will enhance the AGFC’s efforts to combat the longterm effects of declining habitat in our aging reservoirs.
