While the org I work for has not been involved in the McCloud/Pit relicensing, I've started to get really curious about exactly what is going to be in the draft license that was supposed to be posted to the project website yesterday (and if it is there, I can't find it).
I did read a couple of "Technical Memos" that lay out the Lower Mac's fishing and boating suitability at different flows. The results look pretty clear to me. Flows that anglers find as ideal are too low for boaters. Flows that boaters feel were acceptable for white water boating were not acceptable to anglers. Looking at the survey results I don't see a good compromise lurking around the corner.
The project website is:
http://www.mccloud-pitrelicensing.com/
The rafting memo is TM 24 (search for it). The fishing memo is TM 58 (search for it). Some interesting data in there for those that fish the Mac about catch rates, usage, etc.
When and if they post the draft license I'll let folks know.
