I have had a great time in West Virginia fishing for brookies and trying to understand the various threats to these fish and their habitat. I have been in Slatyfork around the Elk River. Its a beautiful area but with great challenges related to development. Logging, tourism development, acid rain, etc all impact the brookie here. Riparian management issues are critical to healthy rivers, yet, there doesn't seem to be any zoning or at least enforcement of riparian set back laws that might exist. More later.
While fishing for brookies yesterday, I happened to catch this "nice" brown trout. It was a freaking hog!!!!
