This author is a stupid greenie, with article containing
many lies.The fish returns to Klamath hatcheries were near record numbers, so the returns in in future years from this years spawning operation will be fine.And she stated farm got 3/4 normal water from Lake during shutoff, when it really was only 20%.And the tribes she seems so concerned about stopped a whole bunch of fishing just before the fish came, thus not catching a whole bunch to thin them out, which would have kept them from dying.The taxpayers raised the fish to be caught.And of course no greenie bunch of lies would be complete without getting the words from that great fisherman Glen Spain... WHO DOESN'T KNOW WADERS FROM
TROJANS...Him living in the area that is taking too much of Trinity water, that was the main cause of the water not being in lower river, when fish got crowded, is a moral outrage when he doesn't do anything about it...But crucify
upper basin farms, when the upper basin was giving twice as much water to the system as the S Cal interests were giving from the Trinity storage.And Trinity storage was 1.5 million
ac ft when fish came in, while Upper Klamath lake had only 150,000 ac ft.....and was below the court level for suckers.So this author and greenie friends need their facts straight, and most know some of the truth, so they need to quit omitting the truths, and stop the outright lying.

Hubel...I live in Eureka and try to stay on top of local issues so help me out here. It is my understanding that when Trinity Dam was build the agreement called for about 60% of the flows to remain in the North Fork but over the years the Westlands Irrigation District got that reduced to around 10% . One court agreed with the tribes and other downriver parties to release more water but another court stayed the ruling. I said on another thread a few weeks ago that Trinity Lake could have released more water this fall but really there should have been no releases and let mother nature play her hand.
