The Green Lake Sanitary District (GLSD) was awarded $15,000 for a fish structure project in Green Lake, Wisconsin. This is a 7,920-acre lake that has a maximum depth of 236 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from public boat landings and public beaches. Popular fisheries include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Trout, Walleye and Catfish. The Lake Management Plan states that the loss of near shore vegetation and coarse woody debris has detrimentally impacted fish populations.

The Plan indicates that habitat protection and restoration are key to help improve fish population numbers to reach their full potential. The addition of complex woody habitat consisting of 8-10 “fish condos” and 25-30 fish cribs will increase fish habitat as a partial means to address this problem and be used in providing educational opportunities about habitat importance for the youth and general public.
