I have read numerous posts on this board which claim/state wild trout are fragile. They are a lot of things, but fragile is not one of them.
Wild trout are going to survive this rough winter just like they survived every other rough winter since they started spawning in our streams. They are going to survive the brutal heat waves we seem to have every summer anymore and future droughts. They are going to survive predation, water quality issues, and development. They are also going to survive a few stocked fish living next to them for three months out of the year. Even though wild trout have been battling the above for more years than can be counted, they are still thriving and more wild trout populations are being found year after year.
Think about it for a bit. They are really not fragile at all!
