 The Tail Of The Hole  Deep Water |
As we continue up Glade Run, we observe that the character of the bottom of the stream begins to change from boulder strewn to gravel covered bed rock with large boulders lying in alternate positions along the banks of the stream. In this area, there are some very deep holes. The ledges that often border these holes could provide excellent cover for native brook trout. I certainly hope that the planned reintroduction of fingerlings into this area is successful. The stream is so beautiful that it is hard to imagine that it contains no fish. But for now, the areas between the First Falls and the Upper Cascade are nearly devoid of aquatic life. Fish that have migrated up from Dunbar Creek are populating up to the first falls, but they have not at this point been able to travel beyond the falls. Fingerlings, released from the Survivability Study are present near the areas that they were released (Glade Run Canyon and the mouths of Little and Big Piney Runs). If they survive the winter thaw with its pH lowering effects, they will likely spawn and continue to migrate down stream. This would be wonderful news. | |||
