Reef Balls will Enhance Fish Habitat at Rosy

The Arizona Game and Fish Department has been using a crane on a 36-foot pontoon boat to sink fish habitat — critical to anglers' fishing opportunities — into lakes along the Salt River chain in central Arizona.

For anglers, this ongoing project will result in better fishing for generations to come.

Roosevelt Lake is planned to be the first to receive habitat. These artificial structures and concrete reef balls attract bait fish, which then attract predatory fish for sport-fishing anglers to target. Habitat is important for fish spawning, recruitment, growth, health and populations.
