Officials say a big ‘flush’ of southeast Minnesota streams has been good for fish habitat

After two-plus years of drought and low water that hampered stream-trout fishing throughout southeastern Minnesota, recent heavy spring summer rains have significantly improved stream conditions across the region, according to state officials and regional fishing guides.
Sediment and in-stream vegetation – long, green mats or clusters in some instances that rendered some streams unfishable – have been “flushed” from many watersheds, clearing out pools and exposing rocky runs important to fish spawning.
