Johnsfolly Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Western trout trips will start getting serious thoughts when (if) we get back to the midwest or I get a different job. Right now a full day of travel just to get to Illinois/Missouri and then have another full day or more of travel kills the planning right there. At this point even going away for a couple of days leaves me with a need to check in or attend at least one day of work meetings or emails. I just worry that the bug damage or fire damage will heat up and kill off a lot of those smaller streams. BilletHead 1

At least we have passionate people trying to stay on top of things. Worst of all is the bucket biologist introducing species into native streams. We now realize the damage that has been done even by good intensions.

Devan S. Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I really enjoy their series. @Johnsfolly I think the streams bounce back fairly well after fire. In fact, no better time to "start new" than after a big fire. Kill off the non-natives and transplant some natives. The bigger concern is the lower moisture levels and just not having enough water over time to sustain. The bigger issue is just planning and getting access cut off due to fires. BilletHead 1
grizwilson Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 If I had the know how would start a go fund me page to get Marty a VW micro bus and Pat a nose ring and tattoos they would be great stewards of the resource.

You darned right! Someone comes up with the funds and it's a done deal. I actually believe Pat would be easy to convince. Plus that nose ring is kind of kinky :). I also know for a fact never to dare Pat to try or do anything.
