Want BETTER FISHING in YOUR STREAM? By restoring streamside habitat to trees, shrubs and native grasses, you stabilize the streambank, reduce soil erosion and cool the water temperature by shading the stream. The result? An improved stream that better supports fish and other aquatic life. In many cases the U.S. Department of Agriculture will pay for stream and streamside habitat restoration.
