Those kids were super cute! They kept cheering when I would catch a fish. They asked so many questions and followed me up the creek. That tree was crazy! I stepped next to it and it almost fell over. I would hope people would do the same for me.
Thanks so much for your comment!Great questions! The disease is called Whirling Disease. It is caused by a parasite that does get transferred from dead fish. It usually kills the fish very young because they can't swim well. It is supposed to be safe to eat the fish because the parasite doesn't affect humans, but I would never risk it... 🤔 I did report this to the Utah DWR. I read somewhere you were supposed to kill these fish outside the water to avoid it spreading but the DWR told me to not do that because lots of people would mis-diagnose it and kill fish that just have scoliosis or something similar.
I love how you took the time to talk with those kids and save someone else from the faking tree! Not just in it for yourself! 😊

Welcome back
Thanks, Joe! It's good to be back. It's fun to experience these trips again after so long.
Some great looking Cutthroats.
Thank you! Definitely my favorite part of the trip
What is the disease you are talking about? Is it contagious? Does it kill them? Does it make the fish bad to eat?
