There are probably more fisherman in the area that support the raising the dam than oppose it. Us trout fisherman especially when limited to flyfisherman are far ounumbered by bass fisherman. you can limit water use as much as possible but in the end the demand will just keep rising.
It is esimated that the poulation of california will double by 2055. yeah i know many participants of this board will be swimming with trout in the sky by then, but how will we supply water for the increased population.
I would love nothing more than to see it come down completely, but that is never going to happen. It makes more sense to me to put a few miles of trout water "underwater", than to pull water from a more pristine system. and the idea that you'll be ablr to wakeboard in dunsmuir is very farfetched. Dunsmuirr's is 2029' and shasta dam is currently capable of holding water up to 790' elevation.
