While it sounds good, the devil is in the details....
As far as Frank's concern about the smolts making it past the twin tunnels goes... they will be fairly safe because they will flow out of the By-Pass into Cache Slough and on down the Sac. past Rio Vista. The Cross Channel Gates above Walnut Grove are the the Sac River salmon killers, in that they suck the smolts to their death in the Central Delta via the Moke and Middle River and on into Clifton Court if they last that long.Originally Posted by Ed Wahl
The real problem with the Yolo By-Pass raised smolts is when they come home to spawn. Both the Yolo By-Pass and the Colusa Basin are deadly salmon killers and have been for many years.. Not talked about much except in some circles...
