Ongoing and Future Projects: Giant Salvinia Eradication Training – was held on Saturday, August 14. Approximately eighty people showed up to learn how to identify Giant Salvinia and other aquatic vegetation. The attendees were also taught all about the spraying process and how to complete the herbicide application permits. Due to the large number that turned out for the training seminar, a second training session will be scheduled for the near future. Please call the SRA office at (318) 256-4112 for more information and to sign up. Also check back every so often for any updates on this “Latest News" web page for dates and times for the next training seminar. New Public Fishing Piers – The board voted to pay half ($30,000) to construct two fishing piers: one at Pleasure Point Park Site 15 and one at SRA Headquarters near Pendleton Bridge. SRA of Louisiana will fund the other half of these projects, and the SRA pier is scheduled to be constructed first. Ducks Unlimited/TBLA Banquet – We have joined forces with Ducks Unlimited for a fall fundraiser that is scheduled for Saturday, October 30th. (LSU does not have a football game scheduled that day.) This event will include a steak dinner and auction to be held at Cypress Bend Pavilion. More details to follow! New Lunker Weigh Stations – In order to better accommodate fishermen who catch large bass and to protect the health of these fish so that they can be released back into the lake alive, TBLA is setting up several new lunker weighing stations: at Huxley Bay Marina at the north end of the lake, Newell’s Fishing World near Holly Park, and Pirate’s Cove at the south end. There is always room for more projects and ideas. If you have any worthy project ideas just let us know. We would love to hear from you.
