Subject: WVU walleye telemetry project

Hello colleagues,

Attached is a map of Cheat Lake with locations marked where we
currently have buoys with telemetry receivers attached to them as part
of the walleye movement study.  Buoy locations are marked by red dots.
We have receivers in the upstream river section as well, but these
are not attached to buoys. 

 

The buoys are standard "No Wake" buoys and also are marked with

"WVU Research 304-293-5006" which is my advisor Stuart Welsh's

phone number.  I am sending this out to avoid confusion
about our unexpected buoys in the lake this way you know where they
are supposed to be.  Also spread the word to anyone you feel
appropriate who lives or works on the lake so that they are aware as
well. 

 

We have already had a man who has lakeside property in the Canyon Cove

area mistakenly remove one of our buoys with receiver attached. The buoy

was not by his property but apparently he thought it was not supposed to

be where it was. Thankfully he contacted us and we are scheduled to meet

with him to pick up our equipment this Friday. 

 

Anyways, sorry for the extended email but we are trying to avoid more

confusion such as this.  If you should have any questions feel free to

contact me via email or phone (304-695-3284).

Thank you, Dustin Smith
