I was fishing Rainbow Run yesterday and noticed numerous bright patches of gravel, similar to what I see on rivers in Michigan during the fall spawning run. Several of these bright patches had trout hovering over them. It would be nice to think that after numerous generations of trout produced in hatcheries that some of these trout have retained the memory of how to reproduce themselves. Not sure if that actually was happening. Also don't know if this year's low flow is encouraging this or if it happens every year at this time, without much result. Interesting to see, anyway.
