Default Re: South Branch stream restoration:

If I had a trout stream in my backyard, I'd want to make sure the habitat was the best it could be for my own fishing enjoyment.......that is, if I could afford it. There is stream improvement money available and it should be used by someone. Why not? The Musky stream improvements are working out fine. If you get a chance to see it, you'll know what I mean. No one builds rock dams anymore like there used to be on the "No Kill" stretch in Hackettstown. The environmental "do-gooders" have intervened and where there used to be quality water flow, there is flat water and silt. Where have you seen a series of man-made rock wing dams on a trout stream? What little work is being done, is thanks to TU. As for the Passaic floodplain....if stupid people buy the houses, then the builders and tax collectors will continue to ignore the dangers. As for the trees.....one fallen tree that is washed up against a bridge or riverbend during high water will collect debris and increase the likelihood of more flooding. Fish will adapt to new surroundings. The fishermen just have to adapt as well, and find those new spots.
