As we are on the subject of water, another interesting tidbit surfaces about a study of the effects of estrogen on Colorado trout.
Specifically, left-over birth control effluent is the root of a number of Evils, including the creation of “Metrosexual” trout. A 123 fish sample of Boulder Creek – below Boulder’s sewage plant yielded 101 female, 12 male, and 10 “Intersex” fish – showing characteristics of both sexes.
” It’s the first thing I’ve seen as a scientist that’s really scared me..”
While the site and its links are rife with liberal bashing, it is is worth an eyeball.
Metrosexual trout – can this be the real roots of “selective trout?” Females are big, males are small, and the fish we encounter that don’t immediately eat our offering are choosy? I will test this hypothesis by tying a dozen well dressed and perfectly coifed flies – for those choosy occasions.
