Wow...Mr.Tibbit's bridge was completely under water yesterday, Im still surprised the thing holds up! We were considering canooing down those rapids yesterday but it seemed a bit to dangerous...maybe Friday

Back in the day we use to try and ride the ice flows down that brook in the early spring. That was stupid

Funny story bout that Grimp, it was three years back when I attempted the same thing...I attempted to surf on a large piece of ice...to my surprise it could not be done, and I walked out of the creek with my pants covered in ice...it was like walking in cardboard pants (and cold).

Oh it CAN be done, but being crushed between two is bad

Then you go home and tell your mom you "fell in"

The concept of 'thinning the herd' keeps running through my head when I read this thread.

Someday I'll tell you about running across highway 99 in CA for fun.

Back when I was a kid that brook was over flowing with native trout. The state put in a flood control project and after a few years the trout were gone

Believe it or not about 3 years back we were catching trout near the deep sides of the brook down near the school, we also used to try to stock the river w/ sun fish from Dean Park, we were hoping thats somehow they would lay eggs and bring life to the river...I dont think it worked...

One time, I am not sure if it was that brook or another. One kid fell in and was pushed under the ice. We could see him floating down gasping for air. We could not break the ice. Fortunately he was pushed to an area clear of ice and got out. Very scary.

The trout down by the school are state stocked and pretty much just stay there and wait for food
