Another problem is steelhead spawning over what are now spawning beds but will be high and dry when flows go back below 5000 cfs, as happens in every high flow year.

I haven’t read the link yet - are they saying they will hold more water back in Folsom earlier? The 25k+ flows took the lake from 650k acre feet back down to 400k, where I believe it was yesterday, so I assume they are still using the old lake level regime?
