Trees are for Fish | Fish University #259
April 17, 2024 11:00 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MBAnglers know that many fish species depend on the structure that trees provide.

But what about when the river leaves the riverbed and enters the bottomland forest? It turns out that this “flooded forest” habitat is critical for many fish species. Most lowland rivers used to seasonally flood into the surrounding forests, which could remain inundated for months at a time. The...
