Xman,
I am with you. I can't beleive the amount of abuse this watershed has received. I have seen the trout #'s get smaller and smaller and the trash and silt grow deeper and deeper. I love this river it flows almost in my back yard. I can still remember the first time I saw the river drop this summer and thougth this will be a nice time to go get a look at all the big browns while they are stacked up in the big holes because everything esle was a trickle. To my shock I found hundreds and hundreds of dead trout and white fish at every bend. I bet I saw 1000 dead fish that day. I couldn't beleive that after all the time and money that was spent on that area by TU. Suddenly there was the worst fish kill I had ever seen. It is amazing this river rebounds as well as it does. Think what would happen if we could just keep water in it and furtilizer out!
