The Problem:
A prominent 750-acre private fishing club faced water quality deterioration, including dissolved oxygen swings and pH instability that threatened the local cypress tree ecosystem and fish productivity.
Key Issues:
- High-stress nutrient fluctuations and episodic water quality crashes.
- Underperforming fishery
- Low dissolved oxygen levels.
The Objective:
- Restore a stable, high-quality trophy fishery environment.
- Process accumulated bottom debris across a connected three-lake system.
- Restore bottom dissolved oxygen levels.
The Solution Overview:
TryMarine devised a custom fishery program using a “downstream” strategy—a heavier dosage was applied to the upstream lake (Lake 1) to allow improved water to flow naturally into the connected downstream lakes.
The Results:
The system saw a sustained reduction in phosphorus over two seasons, leading to stronger fishery performance and a visible recovery of the cypress trees.
