Bark and leaves provide food for the insects and tree trunks and rootballs provide refuge for the trout. As you indicated, the redirected water flow is likely to dig out pools and channels for further habitat improvement. Please leave the saws at home and enjoy nature's handiwork.<br />gerryGerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792106214796890691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-22838315530909093502011-11-11T04:52:31.721-05:002011-11-11T04:52:31.721-05:00Johnny Utah,

This post reminds me of damage I have seen in the wake of Irene. There are streams that are still just choked with debris and other locations where trees (with 2ft diameters) that used to lay across a stream were simply removed without a trace. The power of Nature is simply amazing. I'm glad you are still able to find some brookies in those tangles.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264481445338519105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-33754109611796517982011-11-10T08:07:57.986-05:002011-11-10T08:07:57.986-05:00Brk Trt - enjoyed the post.
