As a reservoir that has never had any lasting fish habitat work done since it was officially opened in 1977, our organization would like to enhance the habitat for sport and bait fish located within its waters. We have several nonprofit bass fishing groups, the local Trout Unlimited chapter, the American Legion veterans, and several youth groups that would like to partner with us in these endeavors. We also work with and have the endorsements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who own the reservoir and control the water management operations, as well as the Colorado Parks and Wildlife - Trinidad Lake State Park, who manage the recreation and natural resources at the lake.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff will definitely be involved with this project. The District Wildlife Manager, Area Aquatic Biologist, and State Park Manager will determine the best Mossback fish habitat product and location in the lake. They and their staff will also assist with the actual installation and promoting on their social media and other outlets.
