The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has determined that a proactive approach and drawdown of Little Grassy Lake in southern Illinois is necessary to protect communities downstream.
Little Grassy Lake is a deep, clear, 1,000-acre impoundment located in the south portion of the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge between Marion and Carbondale in Williamson County.

“A positive eDNA sample does not necessarily indicate the presence of live fish,” said Dave Dreves, director of the Fisheries Division at Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
