Look at the bright side. I used to visit my father's family in Cambria
county PA, and the West Branch as it flowed through Barnesboro was a hideous
shade of yellow from sulfur from the coal mines. Glad to hear that the
waters have improved to the point that it can support trout, or are you
upstream from that point?


I'm down in Clearfield. The section from the bridge in Hyde to where
the river meets Moose Creek is now an approved trout water and is
stocked by the Fish Commission.
It's nice to have this running right through the middle of town. The
river also supports a healthy smallmouth bass population.

Sandy Lick creek in nearby DuBois was orange colored when I was
growing up and just this year 1.3 miles have been stocked and
designated "Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only" so progress is
definately being made.
