The 2017 Blue River project improved stream habitat along approximately 5,000 feet of the Blue River. Deeply incised stream banks were tapered at a ratio of six or seven to one where possible. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards of stream-bank soil were removed from the immediate flood plain. The 2017 Blue River project has improved habitat and angling opportunities as well as opportunities for enjoying the native plants and animals of Wisconsin.

Harry and Laura Nohr Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Borah Creek habitat improvement project on Borah creek above Bluff road in Grant County

To reduce stream bank erosion, stream siltation, and improve fish habitat in the Blue River, one unnamed tributary of the Blue River, and in Borah Creek. Approximately 3000 feet of banks will be sloped in the Blue River corridor with some bank stabilization (riprap and/or seeding and mulching at key erosion points along the corridor. A variety of instream fish habitat structures will be installed, including lunkers, stream barbs, deflectors, backwater hooks, weirs, and root wads. Bank sloping and stabilization will also occur on approximately 1/8 mile of Borah Creek, and in the unnamed tributary WBIC: 1213500. UWP students will monitor the Blue River before and after project implementation, and results will be presented at TU's annual meeting.
