Fish Habitat Below Table Rock Dam On Lake Taneycomo

[scc1600]

I am currently getting my master's in fisheries biology at MSU and I could bring a habitat project up to my professor. I would just need a few more details such as funding and exactly what the goals would be. The professor has already done some study's on taneycomo and I am sure he would be interested in doing more. We are currently doing physical habitat analysis, invert populations, and fish populations on local streams around Springfield to determine water quality and overall stream health. I am sure this procedure could be impiled to larger lakes/rivers and sounds really interesting to compare seperate habitats in said river.

Boulders are exactly what you will need,anything less than a 3-4 ft rock will wash right on down.I work with rock every day,and have spent all summer trying to repair what the rains of 08 have destroyed.We would try to repair with smaller shot rock only to have the next rain wash it away.

If they used huge boulders say 4-6 ft tall ,boaters could see the wash and boil in high water with no problem.Plus the wash around these huge boulders would create alot of Oxygen in low water.

The only problem is where can we drive in a huge Track Hoe?

when they placed rock or boulders in the beaver tailwater they had a special barge type boat. I have seen pics on this site of the contraption. Also i think the point about the man made structures is a good idea. they already make fake reef structures the same things or slightly different structures would not be hard to get a hold of. god bless those big rocks on beaver they are great for sitting on when you need to take care of an issue but dont want to hike all the way out of the water
