There has not been another big kill of fish in recent years. Fishing has
gradually declined with the amount of snowfall, and the increase in fishing
pressure. Only God can increase the snowfall, but there may be some
temporary, or even permanent, regulations to decrease pressure at least in
the winter time.

A few years ago, a truck driver fell asleep and dumped a load of of very
tarry oil in the East Walker. This occured about the same time as the
decline in fishing. However, the oil was very thick, and was relativley
easily cleaned up. I know of no one who blame the oil spill for the decline

steve,
It wasn't the farmers it was the Nevada water board, which strange as it
seems, controlled the flow even though the water is in California. I
was up
there the year it happened and the fellow who owned the Marina was so
mad he
was spitting nails. It was just a sea of mud. I drove down below for a
mile or so and the stream was also a river of mud. They won't do it
again.
Cal Trout and other groups took them to court and put limits on how much
they could draw.

Are you sure they wont do it again? When I was a kid, in the 1980's,
they had a big fish kill. It stank like hell. Trophy trout all over
the banks. It created quite a stir. I figured that was the last time
it would happen. Apparently it happened a couple of years ago. So it
did happen again.
