Good News for the Rivers

[akoop]

Since it has been cooler at night I decided to head up to Big Flat Brook to check on the water temp and stream flow. I got to the river at 7:00am and the water temp was a cool 64 degrees. The river was low but still had plenty of water so I decided to fish a while. I managed to land 8 rainbows ranging in size from 8" to 15". I kept checking on the water temp but with the overcast skies it never went over 66 degrees. The forecasted rain should help to keep the temps down as well as help the river levels.

Still lots of trout in the river so get out and fish!!!
