The Bushkill creek in Northampton County is a class A wild brown trout fishery. We have an ongoing issue with major sink hole activity in a stretch approximately 2 miles below an active limestone quarry. The problems started around 1999 and have gotten progressively worse. We are now at the point where when the pumps shut down or for any reason the stream is de-watered for those 2 miles.
We are not looking to lay blame but find a solution. Having the Bushkill de-water 3 times in the past year is unacceptable.
The link below will take you to the Forks of The Delaware TU website
click "sign the petition" watch the short 2 minute video we filmed during the last event ,12/9/17, and if you wish sign. Ideally we would ask you to also share this link with other sporting groups.
We are convinced, after countless hours and years of previous effort,the only way we can attain any positive movement on this is by turning up the heat and we need people to sign to give us that momentum.
Thank you
