Maybe when the world gets back to normal we could organize something where a bunch of us could work with the F&W folks to build and deploy some habitat or otherwise make their budget go further.

The US Army corps of engineers applied for 30,000 dollars in grant funding for us to do work on barkley in the next 12-18 months. Once the lawyers get the paperwork sorted out we will be adding a lot of new shallow water habitat. TWRA is also receiving funding to work on the southern end. We have several angling clubs already involved and some high school teams, so hopefully we will be able to accomplish a lot this year. I can't wait for a return to normal...

Well with lawyers involved they will get at least 40% of the $30,000 and it will be 10 years getting what is left after the lawyers exercise all of their delay tactics.

Haha, no worries on that front. This money can only be spent on habitat. Its basically just administrative paperwork that is delaying us slightly right now. In the meantime we'll be sinking brushpiles on Ky lake.
