What is this fellow standing on? He is standing on a V-Structure. It is part of a stream restoration project on Brett Creek, a tributary to the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho. After spring run-off in 2005 it should look like this with a pool to protect native cutthroat. Two Washington clubs and one Idaho club took part in the work.
