It could serve as a dungeon if not for the bright, 8-foot, high-output ballast fluorescent lamp I installed overhead, virtually eliminating shadows. It’s the place I retreat to when life smacks me between the eyes. This place is my fly-tying shop, located two half-flights down from my front door. The room smells of old feathers and hair, bees wax and head cement, and slightly stale backpacks. The homemade 6-foot L-shaped bench sits directly under the lights. For about $60, I created a sort of Shangri La in my home. Well, $60 for the bench, that is... By Jim Sauter Greetings from TCTU Streamkeepers. "And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” – Oscar Wilde The fall "switch" has been flipped with much cooler temperatures. We will continue to monitor our streams through the end of October or when the temperatures drop below 32 degrees, whichever comes first. The test results below freezing begin to be less reliable.

In the Fall of 2022, folks from the DNR, Dakota County Parks and Trout Unlimited did the initial stream walks to decide if we should do the next 3500 feet of Trout Brook, just below the original section, and then to do the initial design concept. This took a couple more walks including with eligible contractors from which we hired the contractor. We were to begin in July of 2023 but because of several delays we started in early September and finished in early October. We restored about 3500 feet of Trout Brook and added additional habitat features at the top and bottom of the original project (about 600 feet). |
