you should see the rivers! There's algae and some other stuff that makes a mat. I was wading a couple weeks ago and got some nasty toe funk that made my feet swell up for day! When it rains, we don't get lots of melted snow anymore, that's all gone. Now it's farm field runoff that fouls the river while the same farms are irrigating with water from the river dropping the depth and heating up the water.
