Watershed management biologists and specialists with Colorado State University conduct a fish survey April 23, 2024, at Swamp Pond on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis.
They conducted fish surveys and lakes and ponds at Fort McCoy in late April and early May.
The fish surveys, according to Fisheries Biologist Steve Rood with the Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch, are necessary to determine the health of the installation’s many waterways.
The surveys produce data that are critical for fisheries management.
Surveys include electrofishing streams and netting and electrofishing lakes and ponds.
Much care is taken to ensure the fish are not harmed. Fish caught included walleye, bluegills, bass, pumpkinseed, crappies, and more.
Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
