Stream Bottom

Dont you know that gravel is where the stelheds spawn?!

I had not noticed any changes so far in the places I like to fish.

Usually it takes a huge rainfall (like flooding type rains) in the spring to really do some damage in changing the terrain of the crick bottoms. Seen it happen a few times and only in a few places.

It seems elk has changed alot in the areas below the high tressel to rt 5 in the past 2-3 years more than it has in the previous few years.In my opinion on a downward swing,there were areas that always had more than a few fish in them and it seems with these areas getting shallower or non existant ,so with the fish.The banks keep pushing father back and more erosion on a constant basis,take a good look around and see where the stream used to be,not too many years ago.I know they are always changing,it just seems they keep getting wider and shallower.

i was noticing the same for many years in a mile or so stretch of my common water... it has now recently changed for the better. give it time, it always comes back around... but remember, sometimes a spot is lost forever, that's just the way it goes... although, with the amount of development going on these days, you never know what the future will hold for our rivers... imperveous surfaces are diminishing by the day. many are claiming that the upper delaware branches, the upper main stem, and it's tribs are starting to suffer from this issue. the rainbow trout population is diminishing and even abscent in rivers that once hosted wild reproduction for over 100 years...
