This reminds me of a recent show I watched about all the 'Herbal farming' now taking place in areas like the Sequoia NF.
Supposedely since 9/11, the smuggling of these controlled substances has been hampered at the border (yeah, right), so now they are growing it here in our national forests. The camps/farms have eroded soil and all the irrigation systems and herbicide to clear vegetation is leeching into the waters. Wandering into these areas can prove to be a health risk.
Steelhead gear = $6287, no of adults caught = 3, amortized cost = $2,095.67, beaching that 30" fish and letting it go = priceless
