NC Brookie Restoration

....well, nobody notified us of the c&k permits...but it sounds like
someone heeded our idea of allowing a fair chase kill before a foul
poison was released. still...i just don't agree with poison-killing a
stream full of semi-wild rainbows...esp. when viability of the watershed
for brookies remains an issue. except for the killing part, it is a
noble experiment though, isn't it?

thanks for the interesting note willi...

weeks...and no poison was required to make it so)

Hm.....

Haven't fished enough NC brookie streams to claim expert status, but I've
never seen it done without significant (if not to say prodigious) quantities
of poison.

prosit!

Just wondering, any idea as to the effects on the NC streams from Isabel? I
believe the SNP had 14+ inches of rain at the higher elevations and figure
that the streams would be pretty well scoured.

no effects here in the NC mountains Frank. Very little rain and
hardly any wind.

fish on!

Just looked at the accumulated rain for the State College/Penns Creek area.
Looks like they to escaped with about a half an inch. Still in the clean-up
mode after the storm, so couldn't make it up there with the crew if I tried.
Damn, I could'a been a contender.

I found this quote very interesting:
"Rau said 50-some anglers, however, could catch only 40 percent of the
rainbows in a week. "Fishing pressure has a surprisingly low effect on
fish," he said."

"Only" 40%! In one week! If anyone still thinks there are enough fish to
go around for anyone who wants to fry them up, that ought to make them think
twice.
