The $300,000 fish habitat improvement project on the San Juan River below Navajo Dam concluded last week. The project was designed to enhance fishing opportunities in two ways: by reducing silt deposits from flash-flood events, and by creating deeper pools for fish during periods of low flow from Navajo Dam. Work in “The Braids,” has been very productive as fish have moved into this new habitat where they previously weren't. If you've been since the project was completed, please give me an e-mail and let me know.
