TR: Penns Creek - Sorta (part two)
[good TR snipped]
I'm always amazed at how the fish rebound from these sorts of
disasters. Imagine what the conditions must be like for them. Their
normally clear water is now the consistency of chocolate milk, there's
all sorts of debris being washed down at them, the bottom is getting
scoured, the current is way up in strength and volume, the water temps
must be all over the map. They must look for a big boulder or deep
hole and just hunker down. The coming of more normal conditions must
just set off a feeding frenzy for the survivors.
However, I can't overlook the stories that came out of the Grand the
last time it was blown as you described. A road intersection was
under water and, according to the storyteller, there were rising trout
in the middle of it!
