Well AEP and the Smith Mountain Lake Association are in the process of improving the lake with 100 of these cast-net killers, errrr I mean fish habitats. Trying to find out if there will be any marking on location or what depths, etc - but is that galvanized steel? ?? New homes for fishes! Appalachian Power, Va. Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries, and volunteers from the Smith Mountain Lake Association began placing more than 100 new fish habitats onto the bottom of Smith Mountain Lake today. Appalachian paid for the habitat management plan via its operating license’s technical review committee. Volunteers assembled the habitat structures on Appalachian’s work barge and lowered them into the water following VDGIF directions.

Doesn't look like galvanized angle to me. It does look like a real PITA !! Sure hope they have GPS coordinates for them.

The Smith Mountain Project (on Facebook, where I pulled the pics/info) responded that DGIF will be recording the GPS locations of these and they will put on the Smith Mountain project website - will try and keep an eye out and we can post them up here....

While I am happy they are providing habitat, I hope the materials used will allow the green to produce and grow. So many of these are failed efforts and become nothing more than "litter" in the lakes.
