OUR OBJECTIVE & UNIQUE HOLISTIC APPROACH

The success of Urbani Fisheries is based upon our ability to work effectively with governmental agencies, attorneys, developers, land managers, and construction personnel. We recognize that successful completion of a project depends upon solid project management and precise and careful planning. Our objective is to maintain for you cost efficiency, schedule control, and client communication and satisfaction

SPECIALIZED FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT METHODOLOGIES

After years spent creating and maintaining lake, pond, river and stream systems, experience teaches us that successful restoration requires a holistic, multidisciplinary approach. Instead of digging and filling, we focus on understanding the causes and nature of channel instability to identify the most effective techniques and tools to address fisheries management issues.

MOVING WATER METHODOLOGIES
STILLWATER METHODOLOGIES

Our Methods Involve:

  • Natural river, lake, pond, and stream design and construction that will yield a biologically productive and diverse aquatic ecosystem
  • Highly experienced team of biologists, hydrologists, geologists, engineers, all of whom are avid fly anglers 
  • Biomimicry-using a geologic tool we simulate in a day what may take nature thousands of years 
  • Utilization of active restoration techniques coupled with passive ones, producing a synergistic effect 
  • We work with nature to create structures that agree with it, in this way they improve over time and eliminate maintenance
  • Holistic approach, focusing on all realms of biology from microbes and invertebrates to plants and animals

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTS WE USE FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT

Many people believe the only way to treat troubled pond systems is through the use of chemical products. While these chemicals may provide a quick temporary fix to issues, they do not provide a permanent, long-term solution. They also lead to many expensive maintenance headaches down the road. Our maintenance procedures and bio-augmentation practices naturally restore balance to the water system. Our goals are to fine-tune the aquatic system for the long run, minimizing future maintenance needs. Check out our environmentally friendly maintenance products and learn about their long-term beneficial effects.

TESTIMONIALS

"I can't thank you and the guys enough for your great work! I am so excited for the future of both rivers. We have made such an improvement to the habitat. I couldn't be more proud of the two projects! All my best."

"In 2012 I hired Urbani Fisheries LLC to restore a section of river along my property. ​Today the whole aquatic system is better off and I have caught some of the biggest fish of my life. They use a holistic approach and work well with all the players to get the job done."

​-A. Cooke (New Jersey)



"In 2011 the Raritan Associates, a very old fly fishing club on the North Branch of the Raritan river in New Jersey, contracted with Urbani Fisheries, LLC to do some major stream  habitat improvement  & restoration work on the stream. This work included deepening certain pools, building rock weirs and placing boulder clusters in certain parts of the stream to create pocket water generally increase aquatic invertebrate habitat. Joe Urbani and our club worked very closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Service with whom we had a WHIP contract to help finance this important work on the North Branch.

The actual work took place over about a ten day period during which time Joe Urbani and his top flight crew were on site each day as the restoration work was implemented in accordance with an approved plan. Urbani Fisheries built approximately 16 pools and used the spoils to build point bars for the purpose of narrowing the channel cross-section. Likewise, banks were stabilized with boulders and plantings in order to mitigate erosion. 

During the entire process Joe Urbani and his crew were professional, competent, caring and thorough in all their work. The end result is a dramatically improved fishery and a restored trout habitat that has produced a superb fly fishing experience for our membership."
