Straight River: Do You Want Trout with Your
Fries?
(pg 1 of 8)
Because the spring-fed Straight River flows
through an area known for its lakes, not its trout
streams, anglers of the area hold the stream in
special regard. The Straight is famous for a
midsummer hatch of giant mayflies and the resulting
feeding frenzy of large brown trout.
But who would have thought that these trophy
trout are linked not only to the steady supply of
cool groundwater that feeds the Straight, but also
to America's insatiable appetite for fast-food
French fries?
