Spring Creeks are coming under attack world wide!  You won’t read that on any state site that has spring creeks and with good reason they don’t want anyone to know. This is a world wide phenonomen and includes a steep decline in the insect and invertebrate populations.   I spoke before about the chemical soup that enters our streams from the air, water, and land but most fly anglers don’t get it.

Well it’s getting close to the end and it may happen in the next 10 to 15 years.  I have been doing studies and monitoring the famed English Chalk Streams which are pampered by the English River Keepers and they are showing the same problems!  When you paint all streams with a broom scientifically  this is what you get.  The methods used to properly evaluate and monitor streams are a joke. You’ll still be able to fish the stream but they won’t be what they are now which isn’t great as compared to what they were 40 to 50 years ago. The states will just stock some hatchery pets in them and that’s what they will call limestone spring creek fishing.

To all the fly anglers who think this isn’t important, remember this:  The Spring Creeks are the Best Trout Streams what chance do your freestone streams have!!!!!  Chew on that for a while because the party is almost over.
