Are the dark brookies always dark like that out of that stream or is it a phenomenon associated with the low warmer water levels? I ask because in aquaculture a dark fish is usually either a stressed fish or a fish that is blind in at least one eye due to parasites.
As always thanks for sharing and congrats to the new grandchild!
And I won't even get started on property owners. I have a neighbor that is paranoid about property lines and has put up a piece of vertical PVC and orange spray paint to mark a property line that is clearly marked with survey stakes. And this when I was taking down a fence NOT putting one up!
