    "Whitewater river rapers"??? Classy!

    Restoring natural higher flows to a river for a couple of days a year isn't going to destroy a fishery! SMH!

    We will be up on the Pit River September 6, 7 and 8, so I will report if we see any Isonychias.

    We might be a little early.........

    "Isonychia mayflies are strong swimmers, and live in moderate to fast flows"

    And this guy thinks that a 2 day release of a bit more water is going to destroy them? Seriously? Anybody else want to squash this nonsense???

    Better rethink your dates. There are boating releases for those dates.

    The first July boating releases on the north fork feather out the isonychia mayflies not to mention the catastophic drift to the foothill yelow legged frogs on the feather. There are several studies

    The latest study didnt find any isonychia in the NFF rock creek reach because they were wiped out by the first boating releases.http://calsport.org/news/wp-content/...udy-Report.pdf



    Not a study that has been watered down but here is another opinion that agrees with my conclusion

    My feeling is get rid of all dams. The kayakers can have the rivers during high water and fisherman can have it the rest of the time. No more arguing about flows. Leave it all up to nature. To bad that wont happen. What happened before the dams when there was high water from winter storms or snow melt. We're they wiped out then?

    Exactly! It doesn't take much insight and intelligence to figure this out.
