Earth Day

[Scudly]

I fished from 5:30 - 8:30. Only one trout landed however ended up being 16" and really fat. Caught on a #9 silver PM with blue and red stripes.

A close up of the trout's summer home.

Beautiful night to be out. Happy to catch just the one big one. I did not see any other trout.

Nice looking water. I celebrated earth day by burning some styrofoam out back in the fire pit

Ya, nothin can ruin a good smart fire faster than a few cans , bottles, and paper plates. The trout streams are pretty clean of visible trash for the most part...although I think something unseen is going on. The Root has lost most of that green wavey plant that used to be all over. The rocks are covered with brown sludge....why?

The earth is a toilet in more ways than one.....I can't help but think God is ready to flush it (again).

Deep thoughts by Dark30, I love it!

As for the Root, I don't get down there as much as I should. I find it amazing that folks pull out 20" plus trout on a consistent basis on the main river. That is great! Plenty more potential as each trib gets colder and cleaner year by year. Think on the bright side! Not to long a go rivers used to start on fire!

lack of green in the river means that there is a lack of fertilizer in the water to help all those weeds grow... better land management in the root river valley.. the brown "sludge" is just algae.. probably some of it dying off.. again from the same reasons above im sure
