Here's the catch when it comes to "returning it all to nature". The Klamath River is SOUTH of Klamath Lake- a storage facility for irrigation made up of snow melt, etc. Now, if we return it to "nature", there will be no lake, just a run off marshy mess, totally unusable for ANYTHING and there won't be any water running into the stupid river AT ALL. This is a bunch of balderdash. The only reason there's ever any extra water flowing south into California is because of the farmers stored water! I'm sick of these eco-freakin' people.

These fish are not native either. They are hatchery fish that they keep experimenting with. They have been trying to introduce a Kenai River strain into the Klamth because the fish are so much bigger. Those dead fish were twice the size of the native Klamath Chinook. Maybe, genetically, they can't handle the conditions of the Klamth. Plus, the river received well over 100% of the necessary breeders before the fish kill. Its all a bunch of horse crap.
