Results The project team was able to take on a significant amount of work, with the help of WIDNR, that allowed them to complete over 900 feet (274.3 m) of restoration work on the Onion River in Sheboygan County, Wis. (Figure 11). Additional work included the repairs of several existing lunker structures in the project area. Lastly, the team repaired large sections of bank all along the river (Figure 12). The completed work will have lasting impacts, which will provide improved fish habitat and angling opportunities for the public. Visual observations documented immediate changes to local populations of trout who took residence in the new section of repaired stream.
