From the TRAA Photo Archive
The "tire reef" was one of the TRAA's first major projects. A young Lawson Jones drills holes so that these used tires can be bolted and wired together to form a man-made reef for fish habitat in Sharon Creek Reservoir. The reef was built on the ice and positioned so that when the ice melted it settled into a pre-selected site.
If you can find the location of this reef, it is a magnet for fish and affords good fishing for those in the know!
