Smallmouth Bass can be indicator of healthy stream.


I caught this bass sometime since last year.  The stream this hefty gal lives in is pretty healthy.  I know this because of the healthy smallmouth bass population.  How can we help maintain a healthy environment??  What may we be doing to unintentionally harm it??
