the draw down rates may be similar but due to the lack of snow pack Trinity Lake is very close to empty and close to the cold water pool level - the thinking is the fish were hanging in this cold water level that was reached by the pumps and they got sucked up by the pumps to Lewiston. Another bad year and we will not have this cold water reservoir to pump down river - kind of makes you wonder how the fall run reacted to low water years before dams on the Trinity and Klamath without controlled flows
