TALKING TROUT: We’ve seen fire and we’ve seen rain

In 2016 North Georgia had the Rough Ridge Fire. That fire burned over 2,000 acres in the Cohutta Wilderness and in total burned 27,870 acres in Fannin, Gilmer and Murray counties. Many trout in the streams succumbed due to fire heated water that was already approaching too warm for trout due to the prolonged drought. Heavy ash and cinders in the water led to more fish deaths. The rains of late December extinguished the blazes but many native trees, shrubs and wildflowers were damaged or destroyed. There were many fires throughout the Southeast in 2016, including in the Smoky Mountains. Rain also has caused huge problems in the mountains of the Southeast. The Ashville area suffered greatly in the floods caused by remnants of Hurricane Helene in 2024. The relentless high flows of rivers and creeks destroyed roads, bridges, homes and businesses. Many, if not most streams were reshaped. Islands are now rapids and there are deep holes in places where they are least expected.
