I have to admit. The before picture, while it contributed to erosion, had much better habitat. At least to my untrained eye

Most of the time when I see habitat improvement projects like this on streams I just keep walking. I get the purpose, but don't usually find the fishing great unless it was filled up with stockers.

Does anyone know exactly where this stretch is located?

Seems like a lot of money spent on self-inflicted problems. How good is Bald Eagle? Has it really gone downhill? Did "decades" of intensive agriculture suddenly take it's toll? Or was it the new development? Have we noticed improvements on similar projects?
