The link the post to help support the re-licensing efforts on the McCloud seems to be broken. Again, those wishing to help support the re licensing efforts are encouraged to sign on to
http://www.calsport.org
and follow the link to the sign up page.
Here are the goals of CalTrout, CSPA, NCCFFF and TU in the re licensing hearings:
**********
Maintaining and enhancing the McCloud's wild trout fishery is our primary goal. To determine what management actions will best meet our goals we will analyze the extensive study results to help answer three questions: 1) What flows seasonally optimize fish habitat for different life stages? 2) How does the dam and flow management influence spawning gravel recruitment and cleanliness? 3) How does dam management influence glacial turbidity events in the Lower McCloud River?
CalTrout, CSPA, NCCFFF and TU's approach in these re-licensing proceedings is to recommend flows that are best for the fish and their habitat.
Over 90% of the visitors to the Lower McCloud River are there to fish the extraordinary wild trout waters. We will place special emphasis on flow management issues that enhance and protect the extraordinary recreational fishing experience, including the ability to wade, because of the unique characteristics and special status of the McCloud River in the angling community.

Some negative comments were made in the previous posting regarding the effort in the re-licensing process. If individuals posting on this board have better ideas they are invited to join in the negotiating process by joining, funding and becoming involved in the policy decisions of one of the four organizations supporting the re-licensing. Any slacker can criticise, it takes guts and fortitude to be able to fight the long battle necessary to achieve positive results.
