CHATTANOOGA – The Tennessee Valley Authority invites members of the public to join 
TVA staff and fisheries biologists for the annual spring sport fish survey on Wheeler Reservoir.
The surveys will be conducted April 2-4 at three locations; Second Creek at Highway 72, First Creek at Joe Wheeler State Park, and Elk River at Highway 72. TVA fisheries biologists will leave designated boat ramps at 7:30 a.m. CDT each day and survey the fish until mid-afternoon. Participants with life jackets may join survey crews in TVA boats or they may follow in personal boats.
The fish are collected using boat-mounted electro-fishing equipment. The units harmlessly stun the fish for a brief time causing them to surface, where they are collected, examined and evaluated by TVA biologists. Once weighed, measured and counted, the fish are released.Anyone interested in going with TVA biologists on the survey should call the TVA Environmental Information Center at 800-882-5263 to schedule a time. Space is limited. The Environmental Information Center operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT, Monday-Friday.
