CHECK OUT SOME OF OUR PAST AND CURRENT FISHERIES PROJECTS

We aren’t simply fishing for compliments when we say that we know what we are doing. If our combined experience doesn’t give our pedigree a boost, our results will. From the creation of natural ponds in areas of less than half an acre to the restoration of miles worth of previously devastated wetlands, we feel the catch is in the bag, and you have to see it to believe it.

Below are just a few of the projects that we’ve dealt with over the years. For more information on our process and how we would (re)create your freshwater wetlands, contact us to discuss your next project.

For updates, follow us on social media and check back regularly on our blog. Urbani Fisheries was not simply created as a business, this is our life's work. As adamant Montana fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, we are dedicated to keeping our wetland environments alive and healthy for everyone to enjoy.

Testimonials

Over the past 3 decades we have done hundreds of projects in dozens of watersheds, still, it's the kind words and honest feedback from our clients that keeps us continuously working and improving.

Here it is in their own words:

"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."

-Michael L. Bateman

"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."
