Little Crooked Run[edit]
... that despite being infertile and acidic, Little Crooked Run is considered to be Class A Wild Trout Waters?
Moved to mainspace by Jakec (talk). Self nominated at 13:31, 30 September 2014 (UTC).
The hook states these two things as if they were concurrent, but the sources date 18 years apart. Things can change in that time. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: The older source (which actually dates to 1997) also says that the stream is Class A Wild Trout Waters (see page 4). --Jakob (talk) 13:26, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Which is still 17 years ago. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:33, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: I'm inclined to believe that the claim is credible, especially considering that no more recent sources contradict it. Nevertheless,

Perhaps, but we have to be careful with an "is" statement supported by such an old source. ALT1 looks good. New enough, long enough. Article is referenced, good sources by the looks of it. No images to check. Good to go. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:59, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Pulled back from Prep 2 for two reasons: one is that the Crooked Run hook, now in Queue 2, which is extremely similar (trout waters and acid creek), was set to run 24 hours before this hook, and the other was that despite ALT1 being the only approved hook, the original hook was run. I've struck the original hook to prevent that happening again, and was wondering whether Jakob might want to try to come up with a hook that differs more from the Crooked Run hook. Alternatively, we could simply delay this several days until the memory of the other hook begins to fade. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:02, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I would be fine with just having ALT1 run a few days after the Crooked Run hook hits the main page, unless you think this is particularly interesting: ALT2:
... that the water temperature of Little Crooked Run was once measured to be nearly 30 degrees Fahrenheit colder than the air temperature near the stream?--Jakob (talk) 17:38, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Jakob, let's wait a few days. ALT2 doesn't sound particularly special, so I'm striking it now (and making ALT1 more visible); I'm sure temperature differences like that are common in smaller waterways that are fed by snowmelt in a warm spring, and not at all unusual for any stream during the summer months when air temperatures are in the 90s during the day, while the water remains cool.

- @BlueMoonset: Can we move the hook back into the prep area now? It should be long enough (about four days). --Jakob (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
