Acid rain. I remember in the 80’s & 90’s all the fuss about acid rain. Don’t hear to much about it anymore.

Acid rain was real back then, I hope life in our lakes are coming back. I saw first hand the damage it did.

Virtually all of the lakes "damaged" by acid rain were located in areas with granite rock.

If you don't regularly restock them they are naturally acidic enough to prevent fish reproduction.

I thought it absolutely amazing that New Englanders appeared to be unaware of the existence of limestone and fish-hatcheries, but they were!
