river now provide trout, and other fish,
habitat in the form of overhead cover.
They also provide stalking and resting
areas for various size classes within the
under-bank structure. Lunker structures
date back to 1982 when WIDNR first
introduced them as an alternative to
habitat improvement for trout waterways.
The years of planning and hard
work by the team are thankfully showing
positive returns already (Figure 1). The
improvements and structures all seem to
be holding up as designed, and the site
has revegetated nicely.
Al Wortz, LSTU president, stated,
" The project went well overall after overcoming
a few curve balls. We significantly

improved cold-water habitat for trout
and many other species. We were pleased
with most of the materials we used, such
as the Curlex NetFree product. It was
easy to install, is safe for all wildlife and
organisms, and it performed at a high
level holding the seed and soil in place
even during severe events. Overall, the
project was a great group effort, and we
look forward to accomplishing more in
the future. "
Next steps
The team completed a significant amount
in the time they had to work and with
the hurdles that had to be overcome.
