Proper stream habitat design will greatly increase a stream’s water quality, macro-invertebrate populations, sediment transport, and improve trout habitat, which in turn results in larger, healthier fish.
A large, sustainable trout population starts with trout habitat. Excellent trout habitat promotes a healthy ecosystem for organisms, as well. Proper stream habitat design will greatly increase a stream’s productivity and protect riparian habitat or agricultural production during high-flow events. Utilizing the skills of the best available professionals, Freestone Aquatics has the resources and teams to design and implement what our customers desire in a sustainable river ecosystem.
The design stage is a significant aspect to the success of any stream restoration project. Different projects entail different objectives including improved riparian habitat, waterfowl habitat, or trout habitat. The design phase consists of tiered collaboration of landowners, fisheries/wildlife professionals, hydrologists, engineers, and permitting agencies allowing us to provide a comprehensive stream design promoting a sustainable aquatic ecosystem. Whether your project requires restoration, enhancement, or creation, Freestone Aquatics has the ability to design an ecosystem around your desires, land management and recreational goals.
