, Assemblymember Chris Rogers (D-Santa Rosa) introduced his first bill as a member of the California State Assembly. AB 263 is an important measure to protect salmon populations in the Klamath River watershed and provide local agricultural operations with more certainty on river flows. This measure was introduced in partnership with the Karuk and Yurok Tribes, as well as the California Coastkeeper Alliance.

If anyone wants to see how the Yurok treats that river look at the Weitcpek garbage dump. They just dumped all the trash right in to the river from a pullout on the freeway. We can buy salmon at the grocery store yet government wants relentless power to “protect” salmon. Which is BS. They just want power for the sake of power.

So the price of salmon is going up?

That's what the Left want, everyone eating nothing but bugs.

Right. They rape the resource while claiming they are in touch with nature, so go away, while they sell the salmon and make big profits.

There are quotas on fish. There are priorities on quotas.
The Yurok fish for subsistence. Don’t know how many fish are sold. The Redwood Hotel Casino is for income. The Native People have been used by many NGOs. It sad that Fishhawk has moved on. He was a friend.

“I am Fish Hawk (Tsiek w Tsek in my native language) I am from the Yurok Tribe on the Klamath River in N.Calif. We are about 5000 people. We are the largest tribe in California. We live in the heart of the Redwood Empire.

I have been on Maui Hawaii for forty years now. I return to the Klamath almost every year for salmon fishing , visiting family and friends and dancing in our ceremonial dances. I do a lot of Indian Art.

My tribe is the typical American Indian tribe, being about 95% liberal Democrat. Me and most of my family are ultra conservative, making us one of the smallest minorities around.

I love my country and cherish our troops, and believe in the Lord, our God.”

”… provide local agricultural operations with more certainty on river flows”

I know! Build dams to tame the river. You’d prevent floods, provide more certainty for water supplies for agriculture, have drinking water, and have beautiful reservoirs for boating, camping and fishing.

Salmon grow very nicely in farms. Why is it necessary that they live in a particular river? The eco-botanists and fish experts should be locked up and fed only carrots.

When will they introduce a bill to protect taxpaying citizens from out of control state and local government agencies?

It’s true that there are problems within the Hoopa Valley Reservation (3 tribes share it - Hoopa, Yurak, and Kurak). It is also undeniable that the salmon runs are significantly smaller than before the (now destroyed) dams were built up on the Klamath. (There is more than one cause of this.) The silt from the dam destruction will take several years to dissipate/settle so that the river might be more productive again. I am agnostic as to the long-term results.

I do, however, have an opinion as to the fishing - there is a lot of overfishing by commercial fishing (much non-USA) right off the mouth of all the salmon rivers. The government has strangely not aggressively enforced the regs already in place to address this.

No argument...I have a place on the Klamath up hill from Seiad Valley. Got a notice from the dam buster coalition that if the muck deposited on my property is a problem they might help remove some of it if it was a problem. I've heard the total volume of sediment ranges between 17 and 20 million cubic yards. Fish & Wildlife had a problem with gold dredging. Claimed it was harmful to fish. They settled a takings case rather than lose. I got some of my tax dollars back.

Want more fish?

2. Kill all the sea lions at the mouth of the river
