Very nice, Bill. I spent a few summers there at Camp Wolfeboro, often hiking up feeder creeks to camp and fish. Beautiful country.

Thanks Bill interesting video.
However I do have to comment that the Oakdale Irrigation District paid for this and it is obvious because they have fisheries biologists that place no blame for habitat loss due to the dams, and no blame for the high water temps and fish mortality due to the fact that 60% of the water is re-directed to irrigate non-native plants, animals and trees. It is almost laughable that the only factors they gave for trout mortality was bass species as a predator and warm water temp because of drought combined with the adoption of federally mandated minimum water flows. So it is really just corporate propaganda and it could have been so much more.

Here is another similar video from the irrigation district about the Honolulu Bar:

The main agenda for California's water is always Agriculture.....................


If we could demand a "minimum pool" in our reservoirs we could have salmon, steelhead and even trout.
