Restoring robust populations of salmonids and other fish species in degraded rivers and wetlands is much more complex than we could have ever imagined, and we\u2019ve been doing it wrong for decades. Most of us, even those of us who view our fishing and our rivers as a kind of religion, don\u2019t even know what a truly healthy river looks like. But Chris also has some welcome news, though, and it\u2019s the subject of today\u2019s podcast: we know how to restore functioning watersheds for coldwater fisheries now, and it\u2019s imminently achievable. Real watershed restoration that can last and bring back healthy cold water fisheries \u2013 it\u2019s called \u201cprocess-based restoration\u201d \u2013 is the future. It\u2019s not just about removing archaic dams and putting curves and woody debris back into broken and degraded creeks. It\u2019s about beavers, muck and mire and willow thickets, floodplains and aquifers, wildfire and wetlands, gravity and shade. It is, as Chris has studied and implemented successfully for the past few decades, about \u201chelping rivers do their jobs with a lighter hand and a larger scope\u201d and recognizing that the messiest natural systems are the very best at producing the strongest and healthiest fisheries.
