Bank Improvement?

If you don't have big boulders?

Cars will do?

[Nate McVey]

Is that a statement or expertise?

[Driftless]

neither....was a crying shame the best brook trout stream I have ever fished has old nasty cars in it.

I caught two on the bend in the photo.

[Nate McVey]

It looks like those cars were not dumped there overnight? Can't be new "lunker structure" put in by TU, can it? Must have been there quite awhile.........

[Driftless]

has been there for 50 years...

bad landowner....garbage in stream.

No Lunker/Bunkers in there.

lots of water each spring comes down this stream and any good intentions a waste of time.

Is best brook trout stream I fish and does not need any interference from outside forces.

Maybe all the iron in the water is what makes it so good.

[WaveWacker]

Most likely would be considered a protected water of the state in which the DNR would not approve cars as a erosion control practice. If things continue with garbage and you are concerned, contact the CO.

I think more damage would be done removing them after being in place for 50 years at this time than leaving them in place... ie: you caught some Brookies right at that bend... while unsightly for you in your 'trout fishing experience', it does not seem to be detrimental to the creek in regards to it's health if Brookies are still present in the immediate area....

a lot of things were done a half century ago that would never be considered acceptable or are now illegal today.

Good Luck!
