NEENAH, WI (WTAQ) – An effort to rehabilitate Little Lake Butte des Morts’ fish population takes another step.
Officials from Neenah’s Arrowhead Park and the DNR have worked together the past couple years, installing fish cribs on Thursday.
The DNR’s Adam Nickel says the cribs incorporate fresh trees anchored into the water and are meant to help wildlife grow.
“They come in, they spawn around the structure and then in June, they use that as refuge to hide from predators and grow to adult age where anglers can come around and hopefully fish for them down the road.”
Officials plan to survey the number, species, and size of fish to measure the cribs’ effectiveness.
