Apparently our favorite criminal greens, the white water thugs got a release of water for the lower Trinity the weekend before the week of the big fish kill. This water then flowed into the lower Klamath and out the ocean.

That area does not receive rain normally at that time, excess water would have opened up the closed bar at the mouth. The salmon would have thought that the rainy season was in and would have swam up river.

When the water for the Whitewater thugs was turned off. The river would return to the normal low flows trapping the fish in the lower Klamath River area. If they had stayed out in the ocean, they would have lived.

Plus what has been talked about up and down that area re the dumping of Crank Manufacturing by products into the river would have been deadly with for the trapped fish.

Immediately the Watermelon thugs, Mike Thompson the congressit who went to Cuba to sing happy birthday to his Uncle Fidel, and who went to Bahgdad to suckle at the knees of his cash cow uncle Soddomite blamed President Bush, trashed President Bush as usual. Thompson depends on the voters at Humboldt U and Davis Cal State to vote, probaly several times to keep him in office. These college students are Green Sheeple.

The flows for these rivers disappeared from the websites during this critical time. I have no idea if the data that is available now is accurate. That data could be like the lynx hairs that was planted.

The whole fiasco is a classic coverup by the criminals of Fed and California Fish and Game rats who are life long card carrying members of Green Jihadist organizations. Then they tried to blame GW for this.

Thanks for posting this. At last we have some reality and not the left wing watermelon lynx hair type of story re the death of the salmon.

FYI!

Finally a story that backs up the potential connection of the wide open drug manufacturing along the Klamath River might have with the fish kill last September.

Thanks for posting this comment: BTW . . . Anybody have a clue what the "normal" Klamath September flow used to be prior to the construction of dams in California. I KNOW that the flow in the South Fork American River in September USED TO BE a warm trickle in September.

A lot of good conservatives don't understand that the Klamath for centuries before the evil white guys came into N. Kali, had very minimal flows in the summer and the early fall. Nature protected the salmon by creating a bar at the mouth of the river that prevented the salmon from going upstream too early and being killed by low water that was too warm for salmon survival.

There is minimal if any rain in that area after Memorial Day until the fall rains begin in late September or up to late October. When these heavy fall rains come down, the water flows down the Trinity and the Klamath and out into the ocean and breaks up the bar. Then the salmon can swim upstream with plenty of water and colder water.

I think that Sierra Wasp's favorite Green thugs on our rivers the white water guys got an extra flow down the Trinity for their rafting, canoes and kayak rentals the weekend before the kill.

That extra water flowed from the Trinity into the Klamath and went into the ocean breaking up the normal summer/fall bar at the mouth of the river. That enabled the fish to swim up stream. They thought that the rainy season had started. So they went in the mouth and up the River in a few days.

Then the water flow for the White Water Rats was stopped and the fish were trapped. Low water does absorb oxygen as it is unable to rush over rocks and rapids which enables rushing water to capture the oxygen needed.

Plus the dope makers dumped their by products into the Klamath. Guides who were on the river commented about the odor that comes from these by products.

So you have fish upstream in warm warm and unoxygenated water with toxic chemicals dumped into the water by the drug makers. So the fish died.

The enviral whackos, their card carrying buddies in Fish and Game and of course Mike Thompson, buddy of his cash cow uncle Soddomite, cried that GW caused this problem by daring to allow the farmers of the Klamath to have water for their crops and livestock.

"Plus the dope makers dumped their by products into the Klamath."

Don't bite on this story. It's propaganda. The good guys are winning the argument and they, the bad guys know by throwing the dastardly drug issue into the mix they can muddy up the argument.

For years and years and years salmonoids returned to rivers in Washington and had to swim through bodies of water so polluted you could almost walk on it.

The inland river system in America until recently was used as sewer and other industrial waste dumps, yet fish survived and prospered. I do not beleive for a minute, the clandestine drug dump is the culprit.

Swimming through poluted waters and surviving a caustic attack on gills are two different things.

Hey Bob, you spend a lot of time in the meth and pot areas, ever think your activities may have been filmed???

Perhaps. I still stand by this old post. Google "Commencement Bay pollution" and read about the caustic pollution released by the shipbuilding and the pulp & paper mills into a salmon area. I've seen it have a red tint and you could smell it for miles. The "Aroma of Tacoma". Yet salmonoids survived and prospered. I guess you know all about my political meetings too, you pathetic loser.
