Not to hijack this thread, but the SBR sedimentation issue is not an easy fix, unfortunately. It is the direct result of too much development too close to the river and nothing else.
Interesting to note for those following the saga on the old NJTrout, the sand that seems to be increasing into the upper SBR is a natural occurrence. We have found it to be the main substrate as close as 1/2 mile from the outflow of Budd Lake, that river's headwaters. It appears that it was deposited there as the Wisconsin glacier receded some 12,000+ years ago. Now with increased velocities during rain events, it is finding its way more quickly into the river system.:crap:
