Fish with legs? | Letter

In a previous letter to the editor I wondered why the county road department would leave large stumps in Cascade Creek. A nice gentleman from the department quickly answered my inquiry, advising that the stumps were meant for fish habitat. I appreciated the prompt response, and the information, and have been wondering ever since how the fish are doing in the creek.

Now I can’t help but notice that the stumps have been removed from the creek, and are lying about 75 feet away on dry land. Does this mean that our fish have grown legs and can now stroll over to the stumps when they need some habitat? Now, Olga is truly an amazing place, as our residents know quite well, but having the fabled “missing link,” the fish with legs, resident in our little creek would really be something quite astounding!

Sadly, I suspect that is not the case. I’m sure I could look for quite awhile before finding any fish with legs in Cascade Creek. As for the fish without legs, I wonder what they are doing for habitat these days?
