A finless white trout! What a lucky catch, those are very rare. With his toes nonetheless, extremely impressive! May I ask if he had it stuffed and mounted?

Last year I gulped down mouthfuls of confluence water. It tastes like chicken.

I got stomach sick twice and had a bad ear infection last spring. Like a dumbass I went again last year when there was a big summer runoff. You know...when Cherry Creek turns that radioactive color? Didnt get sick that time.

Confluence gets fed alot of crap literally but I cant think of another major city with such a cool downtown feature.

Are there really trout in confluence park? I've only seen those big radioactive three-eyeballed carp...not a good sign for water quality.

I once caught a carp there and left it out of water for over three hours. When I got back from Church it was still alive. They scare me. Fish aren't supposed to do that.

he actually caught an albino finless at confluence!!!! the closest i have come is finding one with its head bashed in on the beach in cataract. i expect they'd live at confluenza but cataract!!

The A-hole, you have seriously got to use this as your quote.

When I gutted the carp I found a noseplug. It didnt fit so I chucked it.

As far as ph goes-coke is 2.5 while stomach acid is 2.0 Eventhough this difference may seem minor, its a good deal greater than what you might think. pH=-log[H+]. pH is just a way to compare acidities which can't be compared by hydrogen or hydroxide concentrations alone.

as a ten year veteran of playing union in my duckies and even more comically my kayaks i have probably swam there more than anyone also frequent boulder creek and occaisonaly confluence urban clear creek ,cherry creek ,and bear creek aint never got sick!!! also travel frequently to mexico, belize 'guatemala and honduras and years ago to europe multiple times do all the stuff your'e not supposed to foodwise ( idont drink tap water in guat honduras and only a little in mexico)never had more than minor runs i have used the coke method seems to help point is your constitution IS a factor if you got sick for weeks after boating down town it's mostly you dude

Wow, Confluence is lots of fun at 400 cfs. You guys are missing out.

I've paddled it probably 60 times. Got sick once. Learned to keep my mouth shut.
