A public meeting was held April 25 in the Lake Shelbyville Visitors Center auditorium to discuss a proposed fish habitat project through the Friends of Reservoirs. The US Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Shelbyville, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Chip’s Marine, and the Lake Volunteer Association are soliciting the help of anglers and angling groups dedicated to protecting and restoring fisheries habitat at Lake Shelbyville. Recently, a new fish attractor called the “Lake Shelbyville Cube” was built and placed into the lake to increase fish habitat as well as catch rates for anglers. With the success of the first two builds and drops (approximately 50 structures placed) and the interest received from the cube structures it is planned to expand the program significantly.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
