In most freestone rivers, four trophic levels Figure 20 predominate. Trophic refers to energy processing ingesting and digesting food by the various forms of life found there.
Freestone rivers offer ideal resting places for both food supplies and trout, because of the turbulent currents that wrap around the myriad rocks and other rubble that lie in their stream beds. The currents each day present the fish with a varied menu, as if a Lazy Susan had been installed at our favorite restaurant.
When a trout feels the urge to feed, often cued by the hatching of some morsel e. However, as idyllic as all this may appear, the life of a trout in a freestone river is anything but. The anchor ice of a particularly cold winter, and severe springtime floods conjure up a surreal world compared to ours.
Because of rapidly changing conditions in summer months, fish are often forced to seek out the cooler waters of spring holes Figures 21, 22 , or mouths of feeder streams, making them vulnerable to predation and starvation.
In these stressful situations, bank-side trees help to modulate water temperatures by providing shade. In addition, trees supply leaves to the freestone river in the fall, serving as an essential source of food for macroinvertebrates. Bank-side foliage and in-stream plant life constitutes the first level of the four tropic levels of the energy flow scheme common to all trout streams. From the perspective of the trout, the freestone river is a more variable, less enjoyable place to live than the smaller but ecologically more stable limestone stream.
This is especially true when the hot weather and lack of rainfall conspire to endanger the lives of all the creatures that live in them. In addition to natural seasonal variations, vast stretches of freestone rivers have been in danger of extinction through the construction of dams Figure Over 80, dams have been erected in the last hundred years within the continental United States, alone.
More dams are planned, as groundwater grows more scarce due to over-use or contamination. The good news is that some have already been decommissioned and removed. This is especially the case for the state of Maine. Removing dams also encourages the return of anadromous fish species. In addition, the same things which threaten to eliminate limestone streams - nutrient loading due to over-use of fertilizers , and grazing of cattle long river banks - also endanger life in the freestone river.
The acidity level of the stream greatly influences the type of aquatic life and consequently how you evaluate and how you fish these streams. View the discussion thread.
