It’s been over a month since we released our Think Tank brook trout into the Cross River, and we are finding that they have new neighbors moving in: beavers! Evidence of the beavers can be seen all along the stream—from dams to lodges, chewed down trees to flooded plains.

They work well in long slicks in trout water or even in high-elevation trout ponds and lakes. And, of course, they’re great for warm-water critters like bass and bluegill in waters where they’re found. The originator…
