Since November, lots of fish have died. James and Haley and Margo and Zoe and Hannah A. counted 18 fish today. We've had 18 since the beginning of January - Zak and James checked the chart to make sure. Zoe said the fish are defintely bigger since we got that big snowstorm. Margo said there's lots of gunk under the rocks and we probably need to vacuum. Hannah A. thought that any fish caught in the filter might be blind.
We're still looking for a place to release the trout this spring. There is one stream in Fairfax County that might be OK, but we're afraid the water will be too warm in the summer due to pavement runoff. The club members are in agreement that we'd prefer a mountain stream. We want the trout to have the best chance of survival they can.
