we walked from Yellow Spring road to the Schuykill and back today.
saw a few small browns rising, but the creek from just above the small rock dam down to the big dam was completely turbid. not the clear water i'm used to seeing at all.
im guessing this is due to the excess phosphorus and nitrogen from the sewage still ?
signs are still up saying have no contact with the water down there. i'd agree, don't even wet wade it.
in fact i dont think i'd handle fish even above the park - the water maybe clean but the fish could be carrying all sorts of bacteria ?
all very sad,
