Thanks for the reply sagefisher, I kinda thought the trout employed multiple statagies for surviving, or dying as the case may be. When the floods subside I'll be interested in seeing how the trout streams have changed. When I was a sophomore in high school our area had a 12 inch rain one night. A creek that flowed about 1/2 mile from our farmhouse suddenly became a raging monster over a mile wide in places destroying bridges, railroad tracks, roads and everything else in its path. I was amazed at how much the channel changed when I went down to look at it several days later.
