As for being related to the Kennedy family, nope. Maybe back a few generations (about 99% of europeans can claim King Edward III as their ancestor).

I have not measured the river temp during the summer, but I am certain that the temps are warm for trout. I've been out there in it, and it's likely in the 70s deg f.
