The water
South Fork Root River (Houston) is a freestone river in Minnesota, fished for brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, rock bass, black crappie — brown, brook, rainbow. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
