sunday I drove to the Gorge to find and fish dog fork,a small stream rated by the state as a class 1 trout stream---their highest rating---based on water quality--fishing---but most of all because it is home to wild brook trout--"wild brook trout" ahhh--the words are enough to stir any flyfisherman off the couch and on the road with thoughts of crystal clear,cold waters flowing over ancient rocks-and that stream sound so purposeful and right--about as good as it gets----........
the parking lot that provided the parking for folks staying at the swift creek campground was littered badly--dog fork is a tributary of swift creek--swift creek's banks were full of litter there were old tires in the creek--very depressing---dog creek was about 15 feet across--had a few pools---saw many beer cans--cellophane wrappers-cig butts---must have forgot i was in the middle of Appalachia--the home of the moronic mentality that thinks mama nature can be abused because she does not scream out at you to stop---what I expected was not there--I may as well have been on Mars---saw no brook trout--didn't much care after a while---went home--that is my story about Dog Fork,a small stream in the Red River Gorge,in Wolfe County Ky---
