More fish will soon be swimming in Lake Apopka. It’s all part of a new environmental project that will make many anglers happy.
More fish will soon be swimming in Lake Apopka. It’s all part of a new environmental project that will make many anglers happy.
The lake was once the bass fishing capital of the world, but for decades, environmentalists said it suffered from harmful farming practices coming from nearby citrus groves.
Now environmentalists are taking trees from some of those same groves and sinking them to the bottom of the lake to bring new life back to the fish population.
Friends of Lake Apopka has partnered with the town of Montverde, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission, Shelley’s Environmental Systems and the owners of a defunct citrus grove to transport the remains of old citrus trees into the lake. Anchored to the lake bottom in 17 locations, the tangled branches and roots will provide habitat for Lake Apopka’s re-emerging game fish population and provide ideal locations for anglers to hook fish.
Lake Apopka was once the bass fishing capital of Florida.
The old 127-acre grove lies on the west shore of Lake Apopka in Montverde and lies adjacent to the Montverde boat ramp on the lake.
