Night one on my way out to the Finger Lakes, at the Cherry Ridge Camping Area in Brookfield. Just a place to stay overnight not too far from US 20, two hours west of Albany. Big thunderstorm rolled through after setting up dinner and camp.⚡ Hanging out in the truck cap, hoping the rain won’t last, so I can restart the fire. 💦Montezuma then the Finger Lakes tomorrow.🐦

What happens to fish when streams flood?
“Fish survive floods and even droughts by seeking refuge areas where conditions are suitable to survival,” Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Fisheries Management Chief Kris Kuhn said. “During high water, fish move towards the banks to find seams, pockets and eddies that provide calmer water and lower velocities. They hold behind rock substrate and submerged woody debris to find current breaks.”
“Fish can also rest right on the stream bed as friction created by water flowing fastest near the surface slows down near the stream bottom. Sometimes fish move into smaller tributaries during a flood and drop back when flows recede.”

We did have some below normal weather in July, a few nights when the humidity was low and there was a lot of cooling at night.
