Please join us Tuesday March 11th at the Flight Deck in Lexington as we welcome Jason Bettinger from the SC DNR who will be on hand to discuss the Clarks Hill striper tagging study he has been working on. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the pump back stations at the top of the lake as well as the new oxygenation system on striped bass. I’ve seen some of this data and it is really interesting seeing how these fish move around the lake different times of the year.
If you remember, MSC helped DNR fund additional tagging of hybrids on Clarks Hill. Jason may have some information on that part of the study but it’s probably a little too early to have much on that end.
Due to other previously scheduled programs, it will probably be in September or October. We could do it in the summer but I like to schedule programs that are relevant for that particular time of year. Hopefully people are able to take something they learned at the meeting and apply it on the water the next weekend. I look forward to what Donnie has to share with us this fall for sure!
