The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Andrew,
Unfortunately Cal Trout has a track record of giving in to the the white water interests. They, (CT, FOR, AWA,to mention a few) screwed up the North Feather, they have started to ruin the Pit,and now they want the McCloud. I'm sorry but I see our fisheries as something to be protected not something to be compromised for the sake of kissing the butts of the whiter water river rapers. We tired to work with Cal Trout on the North Feather and it was clear from the start that they were going to vote for ww flows. They made excuse after excuse, even in the face of overwelling evidense that the ww flows were extremely bad for the fishery.If you don't believe me check out the Garcia Report. Sometimes the rank and file needs to hold the leaders feet to the fire when they are not working for our interests. You might atcually be listened to a Cal Trout. They certianly did not give a damn what the local fishermen here in Butte County thought about anything to do with the North Feather. As a matter of fact they declared the North Feather a destroyed fishery with zero base line data to back them up. It was one of the most irresponsible debacles in Cal Trout's history! I've said before and will say again. They sold us out!

I will be more then happy to give you a tour of the fishery and personally show you the damage that has been caused by ww flows. Unfortunately you will have to take my word for it when I point out a number the missing bug species. They are dead and gone at this point!
