I'm sure the farmers are wondering the same thing.

If they plant and fertilize in April will they lose their crops due to a June cutoff.

I'm starting to like the idea of no water in the lake. The low water will expose the sucker fish, making it easier to scoop them up and dispose of the slimey creatures.

I owe it to my children.

I think that they are OK for this year. There is little to no way that a peer-reviewed biological opinion will be ready that soon (if nothing else because of the need for the study-the-problem business to milk this for all it's worth). The ones to watch are the tribes. I met with the watershed council and the Yuroks do have some people with their heads screwed on correctly (their lead biologist is not among them). some of them are smart enough to know that if the farmers go, they are next.

I'd really like to get back up there and see if I could make a few things happen. I've had some time to let things jell and would like to explore some ideas. Perhaps the California State Grange could help with integrate a plan with its Oregon counterpart? Know anybody up there ff? If they want watershed planning, perhaps we should give it to them.
