TROUT STREAM THERAPY. By Robert Hunt.

1993 1st edition paperback issue. 4to paperback (217 x 379mm). Ppx,74. Colour photographs, colour and b/w illustrations, bibliography.

An excellent and detailed guide to rehabilitation and improvement of trout streams. This book "offers projects for as few as one or two individuals working with half-logs, Trout Unlimited Chapter's weekend streambank riprap crew, or large-scale stream renovation by a private angling club or public agency. The fact that it starts right out with stream bank fencing, in-stream cattle guard, and, to a lesser extent, riprap emphaiszes treating sources or causes of stream habitat degradation rather than the symptom (the stream). It provides the individual farmer with the means to become a better steward of a stream resource and minimize loss of valuable topsoil and cropland." Based on work done in Wisconsin, the contents of this book are clearly applicable to similar streams and rivers in the British Isles.
