Fish cleaning station

Grind it up and drain it down to the fishing dock. Permanent chum supply

If they rebuild the fish cleaning station I suggest they name it after Wayne. I can't think of someone more fitting!

How could he be pristine after all those stripers he's filleted there?

Try getting that one past the NPS !! But its a good idea except for the extreme amount of guts on big striper days
A lot would float to the top and stay there. can you imagine the volume on a 500-1000 fish guts a day on a heavy striper day?

Very discouraging to pull up to a beach for swimming and look into the crystal clean water only to find fish guts floating down there.

Like the saying goes “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints” and take your fish guts home with you. Sq

I feed the catfish mine, and I have taken plenty home and fed the coons many many times. I have never been to a place yet at Powell where fish guts were a problem at all

I don’t recall ever having any fish bodies that were filleted float and I thought it was beneficial to the lake to deposit them in the lake?

I really don't think there is a problem with fish being disposed of on a dispersed basis. If you were just having the fish cleaning stations drain to the lake, it could result in a zone of excessive loading, resulting in a low oxygen anaerobic zone, which would severely impact the area around the marina. Additionally, it would result in excessive nutrients in a single area, causing potential for algae blooms. Better to just pump it to the wastewater facilities.

grind it up,
bag it up,
freeze it,
sell it as chum next to the chovies.
