We can do the same thing for Lake Hamilton. But we need your help. Material and labor costs are easily managed with your donation. And, for every dollar raised for this restoration project we can apply for federal funds at a 3 to 1 ratio.

Let me explain two ways your donation will add habitat back in Lake Hamilton

There are two types of bamboo structures being made. We call the first tall one a "Condo" and the second shorter one a "Casa." Your donation pays for the labor and material cost. In order to truly benefit Lake Hamilton over 1,000 will need to be sunk and maintained. Each will be placed strategically to best benefit the fish during all seasons for protection and food. Any amount of donation large or small helps. Here are some pictures of our ongoing work:

Another and more enduring way we add habitat to Lake Hamilton utilizes a manmade, environmentally friendly fish attractor. This attractor can be added to our many boat docks as is or bamboo can be added to it for more dense cover. The versatility of this structure works great for deep and shallow water. For a $150.00 donation, we will assemble and properly weight this rack for you on your dock (upon request) or sink it in our lake for future generations to enjoy catching fish. Here's some pictures:

Not only will this project benefit the fish and the anglers who love to catch them, but it will also strengthen and support the economy of Hot Springs. The better the fishing is on Lake Hamilton the more use will be made of local hotels and resorts, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc. You get the picture.

Hot Springs is a hot little town for many reasons and we are asking for your support in this venture to make Lake Hamilton one of the world's best fishing destinations.
