If 10 million cubic yards of sediment were to settle in the river, we’d see the equivalent of six lanes of freeway piled eight feet deep for nearly 100 miles. There are 192 river miles below the lowest dam, Iron Gate. In total, the river is approximately 250 miles long.
For most of February, turbidity levels in the Klamath River hovered around 500 to 1,000 units over a stretch of at least 100 miles, according to U.S. Geological Survey measurements.2 These turbidity levels are 10 to 20 times what juvenile salmon can survive, according to a 2001 research report by the University of Washington.3
Coho salmon (a “threatened” species under the Endangered Species Acts) juveniles will begin entering the Klamath in early March. Both coho and Chinook juveniles will continue to out- migrate to the ocean via the Klamath River until early June (timing varies depending on species and tributary).4 We can only hope water quality in the Klamath will have improved by then.

Yes I never was able to find notice of his passing here.
Indeed
B,
I made the trip to the gates. I think it was Range Mag that showed a picture of a sign: ‘Federal Agent Viewing Area’.
Donated for several shovels for Jarbidge. A friend from Reno delivered the cash.
I’m so sorry we never got to meet! I lived in Medford so I was back and forth alot.. some patriotic freeper was usually staying in the spare room.
We tried, we all tried so hard.
your minister must have ditched geology class Have you been down in the grand canyon?
Left the rim one year in April on mules in a snow storm.
2 nights at Phantom Ranch. The basement rock has been there a few years. Did it again a year later. The mules are fine except for wind driven ripples on trails.
I guess your minister never read Genesis huh?
The Rogue is fine.
For now.
Thanks… terrible about the other impacts. It’s a beautiful place, and a beautiful memory. Our cat is 13 now, so it’s been quite some time.
