Counter to first impression... there are not very many salmon in the river especially considering the flows.

I'm thinking you are right... but they are going to try like hell and it is up to us to stay involved in its prevention.
It's going to be a sad day when the flows get cut back to 500 cfs overnight and all the redds get exposed!
This is beyond disgusting. The people controlling Folsom / AR water need to pull their heads out of their arses.

Don't you just love driving down the highway and seeing the Amber alert sign saying severe drought ...water sparingly! Then you see the American flowing full tilt! What happened before dams ,the rivers in creeks got low and the saltwater intruded. Let it run its natural cycle.
You hit the nail on the head Mark, but money talks and this state can't support the population that it has, so the wildlife in this state takes a back seat. And I'll be the first to say it, our moron governor does not care!
"God grant me the serenity to accept the size of fish that I catch, the courage not to fib about it, and the wisdom to know that no one would believe me any way".
Two things:
1) Now that the delta islands were sold to the SoCal MWD it would appear the tunnels are happening?
2) Tell me if I'm understanding this correctly. From Wired... "See, those pumps (to SoCal) are so powerful that they cause the water in the river to flow backwards, which allows salt water from the San Francisco Bay to creep inland and spoil the water for farmers in situ." Is that why we are pumping 5000cfs still? The more I learn the less I seem to understand.
