Take care of the fish, and the fishing will take care of itself.
Hidden Lake Dam Renovation - Carter Mountain
An old wooden dam structure had deteriorated
and failed. Members used a bobcat and hand
tools, earth, rock and geotextiles to raise the
dam about 2.5 feet. This took the dam back up to
its original height, improving fish habitat at the
lake.
As usual, TU worked in collaboration with the
Shoshone National Forest and the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department on the project.
