Looks like what they are doing is adding steelhead habitat in the middle of the river.  Juvenile and adult steelhead like holding behind boulder clusters.  The stuff closer to the bank is probably for protection.

If they wanted habitat, they'd be anchoring more logs.  Those rocks look like "barbs", which are supposed to deflect water/debris arount things or protect banks.  They also serve to create eddy's or resting areas for fish.  Barbs are better habitat for fish than the standard armoring of banks by adding rip rap.

gong show, atleast it will take pressure off the other places in the river. I love the canyon, and a few spots on the lower.
