I know there were some issues with this in early January. Have there been any improvements?

Well all I can tell you is that the last time it was stocked was November 7th. But as you recall there was a high water sewage spill event since then. And when that happens they have to dump chemicals into the stream to disinfect it. When it happened last year they didn't restock the stream and there was nothing in there. Odds are not good, in other words, that there is any improvement.

There was a re-stocking on February 12, but not as many as in November.

In addition, turns out that the cause of the fish kill was the chlorine that hit the stream when the water main up on Columbia Pike broke.  Trout don't like chlorinated water, and it did them in really quick.
