Woodjam

Straining against the last light, I finally got it tied on and tossed it out to the top of the woodjam.

[…] to treat potential chronic and catastrophic sedimentation problems caused by forest roads, restore riparian areas and re-establish large woodjams at ecologically appropriate sites.

Fishes (especially small ones) often use complex hiding cover such as roots,wood jams, or aquatic macrophytes to avoid predators.

In the anastomosing river model, stable alluvial deposits associated with woodjams can resist lateral channel erosion for hundreds of years, providing sites for tree germination.
