Right.
The big immediate problem is turbidity of the water which is threatening a major hatchery just downstream. We could be looking at a lot less salmon in the food supply...

They have been moving the fingerlings (about four million or so) into tanker trucks and moving them down into the Thermolito Forebay for protection. We get salmon runs in the Feather River and its pretty cool to see them coming upstream to the hatchery. Folks line the banks with fishing poles hoping to catch one of those big boys/girls
Oh Noes! And what about the bait fish?
