Stream Restoration Project

[@laxslacker]

Would be interesting to see an update on this project

[@rickiex]

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 .

[@tightlinevideo]

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.

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.

[@charlieni645]

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.

[@skyiswomb1]

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

[@tightlinevideo]

+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.

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

[@upstater1775]

Outstanding short video with work along with why it’s needed and how it’s done!

[@Cidro1000]

since im both an angler and an excavator machinist, i like this video alot

[@tightlinevideo]

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.

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.

[@neildesai1153]

Excellent video.

[@icedaft]

Very nice. See this was the highlight of my day!

[@flickingfeathers]

Great to see stuff like this

[@carmens3685]

Behind our house the sediment has collected and it barely moves at all. I wonder how to get something like this started?

[@Mojsinjski]

Odlican posao, svaka cast!!

[@mec2k1]

more projects like this need to happen

[@TheTroutBrothers]

Thank you for fixing my favorite stretch of water

[@flunkywill2000]

outstanding! thanks for the education. great video! 5 years for permits? hopefully in the future we can all do it in less time.

[@Scarbis93]

This is so awesome

[@koolwaters99]

Very good video. and some good ideas to narrow a overly wide channel and create areas of scour.

[@NBTrout]

Great cause, great video...

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Good Folk out there !! Thx !,,

[@lovekumarr]

Hi! Can you please share the pre and post results of your project please? Or link where it available publicly. Thank you !

[@lilazan990]

Would like to see an update

[@whtrabbit3852]

Looks good now. 50/75 years forward may give us nature's verdict.

[@sittingbullsittingbull783]

It Looks way faster now. Also it looks more healthy

[@lunkerkid2955]

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.

[@ski31989]

what a great cause!

[@robertcalamusso1603]

Great

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Way to go Joe !!! B

[@peterhicks3516]

did they remove the dam? is this system now connected to it's riparian zone?

[@anglosaxon244]

Less dams=Many more big wild salmons.---food for our grandchildren.

[@MayoFinch]

Is there somewhere to find an update?

[@jessielazaula4318]

Nid ng planet ng matatalinong urban planner... to protect our nature.... no flood allow dafat

[@Wogger46]

Was this on private property???

[@lukemorris2888]

Imagine fishing downstream while this is going on and just getting flushed out with chocolate milk stained water lol. The confusion!

[@seanbevan7]

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.

[@tightlinevideo]

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.

[@Wogger46]

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

[@robertandersson331]

great

[@Markjr813]

That's near my uncles house he told me about this

[@frankblangeard8865]

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.

[@nickangelone6120]

I’d rather contribute my taxes towards public work projects, rather than lining the pockets of politicians.
