Final Methods
DWR staff assembled habitat from Pond King and Mossback. These structures included Pond King Trees (20), Pond King Shrubs (24), Pond King Honey Hole kits (2), Mossback Safe Haven kits (20), Mossback Root Wad kits (7), and Mossback Root Wads (2). Our technicians assembled all the Pond King habitats except for the Honey Hole kits at the Northern Region office. Due to the size of the Mossback habitats, the materials were all hauled to the Cemetery Point boat ramp at Pineview Reservoir and assembled at that location.

Project Narrative
DWR staff met at the Cemetery boat ramp on May 30, 2024, to assemble and place the 75 habitats. We stacked the Pond King habitats away from the staging area because they were assembled. Each person took a base, cinderblock, three columns, and all the horizontal parts and spread out on the blacktop and assembled the Mossback habitats and the Pond King Honey Holes. This took our crew about 6 hours to do. We then loaded what habitats we could on our Oqwuaka boat and drove to our predetermined location. This location was on the same contour as the previously deployed habitats from Kent Sorenson. In 2021, these habitats still had 13 feet of water over them and were not hazardous to boats or swimmers. The depth of the water on our day of deployment was 60 feet. It took about 10 trips to deploy all the assembled habitats on this contour.

Future Management
In the fall and winter of 2024 and 2025, DWR will use sonar, an underwater camera, acoustic telemetry, and angling to look at the use of these newly installed habitats at Pineview Reservoir. Additionally, DWR will add more habitat structures to the reservoir over the next few years. Additional seminars and training will be attended by DWR staff to ensure that these are the right habitats for the fish species targeted.
