So we just finished up a half mile long project which we installed 23 habitat structures in the former Birch Run Reservoir ( was breached and drained back in the early 2000's). The stream left after the reservoir was drained was pretty much a shallow riffle stream with few deep pockets or holes for native trout during low flow periods (summer). Anyway, we installed cross vanes, J'hooks, single vanes, mudsills, rock vanes, and a few other structures. The one equipment operator from Gleim Environmental group (Company who did the construction) made a couple cool gadgets. one is a camera mounted remote controlled helicopter, and the other is a remote controlled underwater camera. here's the results..IT didn't take long for the little natives to find the deeper pools we created with these structures...










Look at middle left side of picture. a school of natives hanging out just under the bubbling water from the structure.
