Fish Attractors/Habitat Enhancements on Walter F. George.
A large fish attractor and habitat enhancement effort on lake Walter F. George has been underway with our partners the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alabama DCNR, and volunteers from the Friends of Lake Eufaula. Large 20' to 40' cedar trees with assistance of cranes and a large barge, were transported and sunk in the lake for improved fish habitat. This should be a great place to catch a big bass in just a few weeks and will continue to provide improved fish habitat for years to come.
