    Default Rivers of a Lost Coast - video

    https://tubitv.com/movies/189479/riv...ng=google-feed


    You can watch it here free on "tubitv" and send it to friends......


    Every time I watch this I learn something new.

    I am in it in several spots in some of Joe Shirshac's old Super 8 movies.


    I am in the movie from 06.00 to 07.00 in waders......first is at Sailor Bar in 1970s.......... next on Trinity river in Nov 1982.

    Every time I've watched this video I get disappointed with that generation of guys who didn't appreciate what they had and had to be John Wayne. It also saddens me how the army corps diverted every single stream in California. So tragic.

    Not to mention those greedy logging practices coupled with the floods. Will humans ever learn?

    Actually, the Smith remains fairly pristine. Some mining threats. IMHO, it should have been the first
    river for catch and release, due to its one-time healthy natives. So thankful for my years spent
    there.

    Would be nice to have one wild undammed steelhead and salmon river?

    The Smith river could be catch-n-release, artificials only, single barbless hook and no steelhead or salmon hatchery.

    One wild river?

    The Smith river has the largest steelhead and largest salmon average size in California.

    The Mattole already has that distinction. If we really wanna make it wild then no fishing no development get rid of all the houses there and close the roads!! BTW will that slide on the Mattole ever clear? It's awful.

    I like your thinking....the Mattole is so remote that it makes sense.

    One undammed completely wild river to save for mankind.
