BOTTOM OF THE LAKE
Crews from the San Marcos National Fish Hatchery scanned for mussels along the bottom of Robinson Park Lake last Thursday afternoon after it was mostly drained. The lake was drained in order to remove sand from it. After an environmental study was done in order to allow the city to drain the lake and have sand removed, endangered mussels were discovered and had to be moved before that was allowed to take place. More than 500 mussels were discovered in the lake. About 50 were sent to Auburn University in Alabama for research, and a few others were relocated upstream. Most of the mussels were taken to the fish hatchery in San Marcos. The lake will be re-filled before Llano Crawfish Open begins this spring.
