When I first moved here, which was 35 years ago, the stream was fast-flowing, crystal clear and ice cold--loaded with brook trout to 14 inches. Today, because of upstream development of the watershed, the stream is down to a trickle, it turns to chocolate with the lightest rain shower, and water temperatures in the summertime get into the upper 70s--much to warm to support any species of trout. It's a damned shame what people worldwide have done to our environment in the name of progress.
