Habitat Construction at AZGFD Nov2015

I spent the morning at the AZGFD's Mesa office helping construct concrete habitat ball's that will soon be placed in one of our warm water reservoirs.  The AZGFD has quite a simple assembly system in place, about 15 people assemble the molds on Tuesday, the concrete gets poured, another team comes in on Thursday to disassemble the forms and stage the balls for future use.  Authorization to place the habitats in our lakes is still a couple of months away, awaiting authorization from the various federal government agencies who claim some form of jurisdiction over this project, but once these approvals are acquired, the AZGFD will have a green light to place habitat in all of our desert lakes.  I also met Amberlea Jones, who is the Habitat Specialist with the AZGFD.  Youthful and full of energy, Amberlea, along with the rest of the AZGFD, have a grand vision for our lakes to improve the catch rates in order to make fishing more fun for more people.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the year, no experience required.
