Includes images up to full camera resolution from f/2 through f/11, plus crops.
I surveyed the entire length of upper Tenaya Creek almost to Pywiack Falls. There is 99.99% fish kill, with no adult trout left alive in this rich lower section except in one darker/deeper pool (there were some in the rocky section exiting the forest area). This section normally supports spawning brook trout in shallow but still-flowing water, but here in 2021 it was a series of stagnant areas with no flow between the pools as has been the case for decades even in the driest year. No sightings and no trout spooked as I walked the stream bank—extermination almost everywhere.
