Although Mr. Hearn is probably misquoted that "higher flows take away the small gravel and sand... that fish need"
They generally need cobble from 1" - 5" depending on the species. Temperature is most affected by unnatural streamflows expieriancing too much solar radiation. (sunlight)
Jeff I and several others that were at Jarbidge and Klamath will try to meet up with the convoy in Calistoga on saturday and go on to Sacramento for Sunday's Rally. See Ya we hope!
Hope to see the convoy as it passes through the Dallas area.
