its great and it'll last a while, but more than likely, it'll return to how it once was. giant boarders and such isnt natural in that area nor does it occur naturally, this would more likely result in the slow decay of those boarders that was set. its great, but whos to say how long that habitat will last, nonetheless, its an great effort to help boost the trout population .
Thanks for the insight and experiences! I'm studying stream restoration right now and searching everywhere for lessons to take home. This is such a beautiful showcase.
I hope you post more videos that are educational in ways other than just fly tying. In my opinion you are becoming one of the best channels on youtube. Thanks for all the great content.
Yes it was. The hope is, with this work as an example, similar restoration projects will be conducted on public land. I'm pleased to report that in this area anyway, northern NJ, there has recently been some real positive movement in that direction. There are a lot of people working very hard to make it happen.
+skyiswomb1 I know of 6 similar projects done here in NJ and all of them have ended up being exceptional pieces of water. It takes a couple of years to get everything working like it should but once it does it's amazing particularly in terms of bug life.
I thought that's where you were heading with the original question. The blog caddis chronicles has had a rather interesting thread which addresses many of your concerns. You need to scroll down a bit to get to the video, but it is still up. I'd urge you to read all the way to the bottom.
Isn't it wonderful that a well working river naturally hosts a great fishery? Sure the restoration was not to create fishing holes, but it's impossible for a well functioning river to not be a great fishery at the same time.
Thanks for the reply. I guess what I was getting at is the following; Were public funds, ie Trout Unlimited and others used for this project? The Inn owner obviously charges clients to fish this property excluding the general public, correct? I grew up in East Brunswick and have been living in Colorado guiding and working in the restoration field since the mid 80's. Why didn't you do this project on a public stretch of the river
Good work. It's not clear to me why rivers on private land are easier to secure funding? Is that private funding or tax payers money? Either way, nice job.
In most cases it is private funding on private land. Public water generally requires taxpayer dollars to fund restoration efforts plus permiting and liability are much trickier than on private.
Would be interesting to see an update on this project

This is something to be very proud of! Wish we would see more of this all over.

@@tightlinevideo It would be awesome to have a video showing the updated river.

Outstanding short video with work along with why it’s needed and how it’s done!
since im both an angler and an excavator machinist, i like this video alot
This is so cool, this spring Trout Unlimited is coming to the small creek behind my house to stock it with trout, and make a better habitat for trout.
Behind our house the sediment has collected and it barely moves at all. I wonder how to get something like this started?
outstanding! thanks for the education. great video! 5 years for permits? hopefully in the future we can all do it in less time.
more projects like this need to happen
Very nice. See this was the highlight of my day!
Very good video. and some good ideas to narrow a overly wide channel and create areas of scour.
Hi! Can you please share the pre and post results of your project please? Or link where it available publicly. Thank you !
Thank you for fixing my favorite stretch of water
Great to see stuff like this
Excellent video.
Odlican posao, svaka cast!!
This is so awesome

Would like to see an update
did they remove the dam? is this system now connected to it's riparian zone?
Is there somewhere to find an update?
Great cause, great video...
It Looks way faster now. Also it looks more healthy
Looks good now. 50/75 years forward may give us nature's verdict.

Good Folk out there !!
Thx !,,
Was this on private property???

Less dams=Many more big wild salmons.---food for our grandchildren.
what a great cause!
Imagine fishing downstream while this is going on and just getting flushed out with chocolate milk stained water lol. The confusion!
Nid ng planet ng matatalinong urban planner... to protect our nature.... no flood allow dafat
Way to go Joe !!!

Great
That's near my uncles house he told me about this
great
Great video. Not much said about the cost and where the money came from. Ha, ha just kidding. We all know where the money came from. Taxpayers.
I’d rather contribute my taxes towards public work projects, rather than lining the pockets of politicians.
