A federal judge on Friday rejected an effort by commercial anglers, tribes and environmental groups seeking to force the government to release more water to the Klamath River instead of diverting it to farms.
Commercial fishermen sued the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the National Marine Fisheries Service last month, arguing that water being stored for farmers should be released to help young salmon migrate to the ocean.
Should make it easy for the "fishermen" to catch them, right?
Klamath Farmers BTTT
I've got the solution.......let the fishermen go up and do the clubbing!
Being part Indian myself, I find this claim to be an outrage. Why would I want to eat a foul tasting/bony slimey sucker when I could eat the wonderful trout in the Klamath Lake or the two rivers that feed it. Then, I could come down stream a little along the Klamath and catch/spear the King of Salmon, King Salmon or the wonderful tasting steelhead. To get me to eat a sucker fish, you would have drug, beat me and maybe shot me. To get me to eat good salmon/trout just call me over for dinner.
When there are Salmon or steelhead, these tribal people should be allowed catch and kill what they want up and down these streams and rivers. However, please don't play a game about re the Sucker Fish.
Actually we need to start Bitch Slapping all of the enviral nazis and their federal/state liars with Rico Suits. After a few of them get Bitch Slapped with Rico suits, lose some big time court cases, this Bravo Sierra will stop.
Mr Carry Okie, the orginator of using Rico Suits to Bitch Slap these enviral whackos will hopefully add to this reply of mine. He will explain the cure of this madness and how to use Rico suits for Bitch Slapping these Enviral Nazis. Rico Suits really caught the recent attention of the Catholic church in another issue.
Shame on you AuntB, you noisy old woman interferring with the head Nazi Andy Kerr and his little enviral goose steppers. They were just rurally cleansing the farmers/ranchers for the chilrun of the sucker fish! Now those innocent chilrun of the sucker fish will suffer.
Great Job AuntB! This should make your weekend!
Although we are not fish...we are land owners and at least us serfs have a voice and we are using it to the max!
This is pure BS and I suspect the plaintiffs came up with this jive to sway the court. Every year fish are stranded by high water flows we call spring "freshets" and become easy prey for...gulp..."endangered birds and mammals". From 72 till 92 we owned a fishing lodge for our private use on the Klamath at Weitchpec upriver fron the confluence of the Trinity.
Now here is a rub for you. On the Trinity these socialist have won a huge increase in the release of water from Trinity lake. So much water that there are warnings posted this weekend to all river users for exceedingly high and swift flows . How many fish will stranded by this man made flood???
All of this is in todays Times-Standard.com
I wonder how many of these "rescued" salmon are ending up on the grill?
