Sunk trees become new habitat for fish and improve chances for angler success.



Smithville, Mo. – You could call the second annual FISH Day at Smithville Lake a big splash for anglers. Actually, it was about 130 splashes as big trees were anchored down with concrete weights and shoved off barges into the lake on April 13. Each tree sinking to the bottom became new habitat for fish and improved chances for angler success.
“A lot of people give me calls saying they’re targeting the new brush piles for fishing, and we’re getting good reports,” said Eric Dennis, a fisheries management biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).
