Fishing Elkhorn Creek: Compleat Angler Depleating the Stream

The quiet scene is a bit deceptive. The stream is so popular with kayakers that it is sometimes tough for a diligent, ambitious young competitive Collins Titan fishing team member to get in all the practice he needs. Evan wasn't as excited about the outside possibility that he might compete in the Cabela National Fishing Tournament in 2020 as we'd expected. He's getting expert inside tips from his cousin Blake Cowan, but worries that any tournament on smaller lakes may "pressure" the lake, depleting it of fish the rest of the season. In Elkhorn Creek, he's in no danger of pressuring, or overfishing, the stream, as, he reasons, the kayakers make it more difficult to catch the abundantly stocked stream. - Granddad, Ed Waggener
