Blistered Trout on the Bighorn
I missed this from last year, a story on high nitrogen levels below the dam on the Bighorn blistering the Brown trout population. And then more apparent repercussions from the effects of the blistering this winter. The later is a FWP press release so you have to read further to finally get to whats really going on. The gist seems to be that Browns that suffered from blistering were made more susceptible to the subsequent fungus outbreak. And while they make a good show for numbers (which is what they’re all about- real, imagined, or invented) it’s bound to have some impact on the Brown populations, especially older adult males?.
Fish Porn
Last but not least, some fresh fishing porn from Montana Fly Fishing Magazine. Always nice to get a new round of fish photos and commentary from the locals locos.
