Politics
and 2010
Salmon
Next
year we
should
see at
least a
short
salmon
season
but
given
the lack
of
angler
support
to help
out the
groups
fighting
the Govenator's
canal
plan,
2010
could
well be
the last
year of
ocean
salmon
in
Central
California
in our
lifetime.
Maybe
the next
generation
will get
it right
but we
sure
F&*%@!
it up
for
them.
YOU
aren't
fishing
salmon
this
year
because
the
politicos
in
Sacramento
and
Washington
DC
decided
it was
better
to grow
cotton
in the
California
desert
and put
a
subside
check on
a
millionaire
cotton
farmer's
table
(and a
contribution
to their
campaign)
than
keep
fish
swimming
in our
rivers.
Anglers
are the
last
line of
defense
but we
are so
unorginized
that
we are
going to
get
blitzed
by the
water
contractors.
There is
only one
way out
of this
mess and
it's
through
the
courts
and the
hard
work of
California Sportfishing
Protection Alliance
Please
consider
supporting
them as
they are
pushing
the
lawsuits
that
will
ensure a
future
or at
least a
hope of
us ever
salmon
fishing
in
California
again.
Our
salmon
runs
didn't
die,
they
were
stolen
from us
by a 40%
increase
in water
diversions
from the
Delta
beginning
in 2002.
Unless
water
diversions
are
rolled
back
(through
court
order
and the
litigation
of CSPA)
salmon
don't
have a
chance
of
making
it to
sea or
you or
your
children
to ever
fish for
them.
 No
group
has done
more
over the
past two
decades
to
protect
fisheries
than
CSPA. In
the past
two
months
USAFishing
readers
have
raised
nearly
$10,000
for the
CSPA but
much
much
more is
needed.
Please
visit
their
website
and
learn
more
about
all the
great
work
they are
doing.

solution and support the

Protection Alliance
