I heard it discussed on other threads about who does what to improve their local lakes. So with a show of hands how much time this year have you invested in making stake beds , cleaning the lakes, whatever you consider giving something back.

Must be slow around here.
This time of year every time I go to the lake I make a few beds every trip. There is drift wood all along the edge of the shoreline. Just grab it and stick it in the ground around stumps or on the edge of creeks very easy to do and cost nothing. Take very little time as well. You can build a bed in less than 5 minutes.
I'll start then, figure i have at least 24-36 hrs invested this year.
Thats awesome BigC, I usually do 10 to 12 hours a years and try to make to the habitat day if I can. Do what I do according to where the water is that year. we have a problem here with folks pulling it up and burning it during the winter time, very frustrating.
My wife and I made the cleanup day the last two years at Enid and habitat day this year at Enid. I also pick up floating trash every day I fish and trash on the lake bank where I camp.
Man I ain't been to a lake in so long!Did Butla with yall a couple years back.Did Enid last year but had a death in our family this year and could not make it. Butla this year rose like a monster. Try always to pick up some trash folks throw out everytime I go. I don't even throw a cigarette out the window or in our lakes!I don't sink bullet cans.I know you and Slabin been helping Butla for years!
Good job Steve and storm. Slabin will pick up tater chip bags while fish,not sure if he's looking for food or cleaning the lake.
BigC; Check this forum out. It shows a lot of fish habitat DIY a lot of information here and if you don't see it just ask:
