And 30,000 salmon died in the Klamath river in water warm enough to bathe in.

That year (2003) there were a number of issues that contributed to that killing, well beyond what the farmers took. Particularly when you consider that the farmers have been using those levels of water for decades with no corresponding killing.

Therefore, these other causes are much more likely to have been the root cause. Temperature of the water from other sources that year is one, and even more likely is the infectious disease known to have broken out amongst the salmon that year during spawning.
