Today I found my local trickle, which is a recognized wild trout stretch (browns, not natives), cropped and deforested in a few holes and runs that I feel are integral spots of refuge in the fishery. The destruction ranged from downed trees over the stream completely removed to live trees, with root systems in the water, cut down with the stump remaining.
Needless to say, I wasn't happy. This was carried out by a team of land developers with serious equipment.
In response I contacted the DEP, TU, and the fish and game association, realizing the entire time that I may not have the right to the claim. That said, I'm kind of worried that I may have over reacted, but I'm telling you that at least two of the affected sites are no longer suitable hiding places, with one of them being completely and utterly destroyed.
