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. Trails and public lands along the brook are synergistic with <br />fishing and multi -uses of the greenway. <br />Fish sampling in 2012 <br />
