Stream restoration for brook trout in Hardy County, West Virginia
Greg Hulver stands next to his favorite fishing spot for catching brook trout on a restored section of Reed Creek on his property in Baker, W.Va., on June 28, 2022. “As a kid I could catch brook trout in 30 minutes and then as I grew older I could go half a day without catching anything and it just kept getting worse,” said Hulver, who worked with Trout Unlimited (TU) on the restoration project, which was part of TU's Potomac Headwaters Home Rivers Initiative and also included planting trees and excluding cattle livestock along a 21.9-acre stretch. The restoration was funded in part by a Chesapeake Bay Program Small Watershed Grant awarded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
