The Nevada County Sheriff may not know the laws regarding this (or don't want to go through the effort). I'd recommend the kid calling CalTip and getting in touch with a warden. They take these types...

Interestingly, the there are "surplus" fish available in the Klamath-Trinity basin. There is still a possibility for an in-river fishery for both spring and fall-run Chinook in the Trinity. I know...

This is completely false. It was written by a guy who loves spreading misinformation and has been a very vocal opponent for a long, long time. KRRC directly addressed these rumors today in a...

CDFW and several other agencies are re-introducing spring-run Chinook into the upper Yuba and possibly the Feather. They will have smolt traps at the inlets of the reservoirs to capture outmigrating...

There's tons of articles about the removal and some of the negative impacts that are being seen. Just because there are a few crazies who peddle misinformation about the removal doesn't mean the...

Ah yes, more "news" coming from people who have no idea what they're talking about. This guy and several others on that "news" site have been playing whataboutism for awhile now.

The heavy metals...

FERC issued the final EIS today for removing the lower four mainstem Klamath dams, and is recommending that the FERC license be surrendered and the project decommissioned!

Eggs are definitely the most sensitive to sedimentation. Generally the most impactful sediments on eggs would be in the coarse sand to very fine sand/coarse silty ranges.



Salmon spawn in both...

Scientists knew going into this year that water temperatures were going to negatively impact both the winter- and fall-run Chinook on the mainstem Sacramento. Without major infrastructure...

I keep on hearing the words 'damage' and 'failure' from guides and fishermen who 'know the river' yet they don't identify how these projects are doing this. Rivers are supposed to be dynamic, some...

There is a map on the project fact sheet in the original link. Project is directly across from the nature center.



I use adult escapement to refer to any metric that use fish that have escaped...

The fall run would have historically spawned where Natomas and Folsom Lakes are now. The more abundant spring-run (at the time) would have spawned in the forks of the American up to elevations...

These projects are part of mitigation that Reclamation must provide. They must dedicate a certain amount of funding towards restoration as part of the agreement with building Natomas and Folsom dams....

It's unclear if the water level has dropped below the level of the penstock inlets to the power plant or if there just isn't enough head pressure to turn the turbines. There is also another outlet at...

Fire now at 36000 acres and still 0% containment. Due to how fast its moving and the lack of personnel, life and structure protection are the priority. Smoke is so bad that they can't get any...

More likely a Pacific Gopher Snake. Super common snake that is found throughout the Sierras.

Water snakes (Nerodia) wouldn't...

To me, the channel still looks a bit too incised and straight in both above and below the bridge. I would expect a creek in a meadow like that to be much more meandering and have multi threaded...

Darian's article provides the reasoning in the first paragraph:

"The idea behind the structures, which mimic beaver dams, is to slow erosion, catch sediment, and build up the river bottom to...

Not Deer Creek. The spring run on this creek is typically <250 fish. Last surveys had around 1100 already. Lots of restoration going on in this creek so hopefully this becomes the new norm.

Not Butte Creek but another CV tributary that is having a record run of springers this year. Ran into several other pools like this one over the weekend.

The entire year class of winter-run Chinook that spawn in the river will likely perish this summer. There just isn't enough cold water available due to the drought. Interestingly, this is the driest...

If you use a high enough percentage of alcohol (>90%) you don't even need to wait for the alcohol to dry. Put aquaseal right on the pinholes and rub it in. The aquaseal won't even stick to your...

The closure is actually from Keswick Dam downstream to the Hwy 44 West overcrossing which is the bridge below Sundial.
