Crooked Run (Catawissa Creek)

• ... that Crooked Run had the highest wild trout biomass of any tributary of Catawissa Creek observed during a 1997 survey?

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Trinity (nuclear test)
• Comment: hook cited to page 28

• Comment: The way this is worded seems odd. So, was it the highest again the next year? If not, how is that hook-worthy? Looking over the article there seem to be some other points that might be more "useful", like the class-a watershed and such, but I'm no expert on these terms so I can't really offer a better suggestion.

• There was no next year--this was a one-shot survey. Also, there are hundreds of Class A Wild Trout Waters in Pennsylvania (12 in the Catawissa Creek watershed alone), so that isn't particularly interesting. --Jakob (talk) 19:33, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Ok do you understand my reticence in using that as the hook? "Someone once said something nice" isn't very hook-ish. But I did find something interesting inside we might be able to use... one section states that the upper reaches are acidified by (what I assume is) acid rain. Yet a later section states it's Class A all the way. Is that still correct, or is this time-dependent? Either way, I think we have a basis for something along the lines of...

• ALT1: ... that in spite of the upper reaches of the Crooked Run being acidic due to acid rain, it's still considered Class A Wild Trout Waters?

• @Maury Markowitz: I'm okay with ALT1. --Jakob (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok let's do it (any chance of a picture of a trout in the river?)...

Length, newness, cites, hook, QPQ all good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:43, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
