In addition to a public water supply source, the lake offers many... Read More
The objectives of this project are: Stabilize eroding shoreline Reduce nutrients and silt entering the lake Improve angler access Increase rock type fish habitat Increase wood type fish habitat Improve riparian buffer Read More
This project is proposed to create biological habitat, inhibit shoreline erosion on highly eroded areas, inhibit mobilization of sediment and nutrients, and reintroduce native plants to an area invaded by common reed. The benefits expected include: increased complexity and diversity of habitat for fish and other wildlife, decreased turbidity, siltation,... Read More
The goals of this project are to introduce long-lasting structural and biological habitat, inhibit shoreline erosion on highly eroded areas, inhibit mobilization of sediment and nutrients, and maintain connectivity of coves to the main lake. The benefits expected include; increased complexity and diversity of habitat for fish and other wildlife,... Read More
Research shows that Island Park Reservoir is the lynchpin of fisheries in the Henry’s Fork System, and RFHP funding will continue our research and drought mitigation efforts that have already proven effective for conserving and restoring important sportfish in Island Park Reservoir. Each Farms and Fish project results in an... Read More
