the gates to the diversion dam will be opened
for the last time ever and we will never see
the river like this anymore. Bureau of
Reclamation and a judge down in Fresno CA.
which is a couple hundreds of miles from
us, has said that the poor salmon has trouble
making it up river, so the river that Red Bluff
has knowned for the last 40 years will be no
more. The fishermen up here says they aren't
having trouble catching fish, the salmon are getting
up here just fine. Dad saw one caught right in front
of him when he was sitting on the deck. The river
has been so full of boats for the last week trying
to get their last ride in. Oh well, guess you can't fight
the government, at least not in this day and age.
There will still be about a half river left on the
far side bank. It is just not the same.
