Bonus observation of 2 Cutthroat 10" + 12" pair swimming side by side just above the "S curve' riffles >>
didn't have camera quick enough .... water is very clear.
Also clear Hoot Hoot of Barred Owl ... "Spring has Sprung"!

water level from yesterday's rain is creating the 'happy babble' that park walkers enjoy!

3 Frisky Fry rose to snow berries ... sediment from 3 weeks ago SEEMS not a factor in health of fish:)

Same note as Art's riffle >> low flow took several days to clear >> no dead fish seen
