Promising Bug Count in Despoiled Creek

Byrne Creek Streamkeepers found a little life to celebrate today in the creek, which was hit by a toxic substance last weekend that killed hundreds of trout and some salmon.

Streamkeepers did a "bug count" of aquatic invertebrates over the weekend, focusing on areas already covered two weeks ago. They were happy to find that while the overall rating had dropped a bit, the change was minimal.

That was good news at the end of a devastating week.
