Habitat improvement party today. I really enjoy these, it is a nice way to meet some of the other people that fish the same waters as you.

A group of us felling a tree that had a fallen across the stream causing erosion of the river bank.

It always amazes me at how few people turn up to these events.

For instance this one was attended by about 8 to 10 people not bad really compared to some of the attendance figures i have seen for these type of events but out of a club of 75 it is a bit of a poor show.
Come on people its your chance to improve the fishing on your waters. Do some reading and learn about how best to improve the lot for the fish in your river.

Here are a couple of books to get started with:-

Wild Trout Survival Guide
There is no ISBN number on this book, but it is available from the Wild Trout Trust

Trout Stream Therapy. by Robert l. Hunt
ISBN 0-299-13894-1

And if you want something you can really get your teeth into.

WildStream. A natural history of the free flowing river.
by Thomas F. Waters.
ISBN 0-9637616-1-7

If any body else has any suggested reading on this subject I would be happy to add it to the list.

Now get out there and do it.
