Trott Brook runs west to east within the area <br />below. <br />A proposal exists for habitat improvements and the stocking of trout <br />within the brook - if this is found to be feasible, this would provide <br />a rare opportunity in the Metropolitan area, and a unique <br />recreational opportunity with significant tourism and favorable <br />economic impacts. The MN DNR has placed data loggers in Trott <br />Brook (2013) to collect the thermo profile of the stream to better <br />understand the streams suitability as a fishery - and a report has <br />identified the brook as potential as a trout fishing stream for the <br />Metro.
