 This year's Brook Trout restoration was made possible by volunteers from several Tennessee TU Chapters. Cumberland, Appalachian, Hiwassee, Clinch, Little River, and Great Smokey Mountains chapters were represented. Additionally, Gary Berti from TU National, helped and seemed to be impressed with our project. Steve Fry and Greg Fairchild, with the help of John and others, made breakfast, which is always a treat. Once everyone ate, Jim Herrig laid out the plan, we split into four groups, and sampled three streams, Big Cove Branch, Sugar Cove Branch, and McNabb Creek. (See the report here ). Afterward, a few of us drove to the headwaters of McNabb to look at the acidic anakeesta rock and where lime sand is applied to try to counter its acidic damage. It was a great time and thanks to everyone that helped.
