Well, I can't imagine how that could possibly by the conclusion that folks come up with, but I don't like the whole lot of nothing that is coming from the negotiations. I want to see things in black and white. It is possible that higher flows could be instituted in the off-season, I guess... and the one thing I've hears is a return to seasonal flows... not really normal for a river to flow at one fixed flow all year, maybe starting high in the Spring and tapering off... but that won't benefit any of the fish species that might otherwise have benefited... the Bull Trout are gone and the Salmon have been cut off. So... only one group would benefit and that's the rafters, but this really is a situation where either one group wins or another, no win-win from my vantage and the anglers have a really historic claim to the McCloud. So, I'd hope that would slide a 50-50 call to more like a 90-10 call.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I want to see more info... hear from the folks in the talks to see what direction the wind is going.
